1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Tumor lymphangiogenesis is an important early event in tumorigenesis, one that promotes lymphatic metastasis. BRG1 (also known as SMARCA4) is a central component of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex. In a previous work, we have reported that decreased BRG1 could promote colon cancer cell migration and invasion, and that the BRG1 expression level is negatively correlated with lymphatic metastasis. In the current study, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the role of BRG1 during lymphangiogenesis in colorectal cancer. Lymphatic vessels are more abundant in BRG1 low-expression tumors than in BRG1 high-expression tumors. We investigate the process by which BRG1 can promote VEGFC transcription and induce lymphangiogenesis in vivo and in vitro. We show that BRG1 controls lymphangiogenesis by binding to STAT3 and regulating STAT3 activation. We also prove the mechanisms through clinical samples. In summary, our demonstration of the important roles of the BRG1/STAT3/VEGFC in tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis might lead to the discovery of novel therapeutic targets in the treatment of cancers with BRG1 loss of function.
