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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major causes of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. The currently approved therapeutic agents have limited efficacy.

methodsThe atypical cadherin FAT1 was discovered as a novel CRC-associated protein by using a monoclonal antibody (mAb198.3). FAT1 expression was assessed in CRC cells by immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunoblots, flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. In addition, in vitro and in vivo tumour models were done to assess FAT1 potential value for therapeutic applications.

resultsThe study shows that FAT1 is broadly expressed in primary and metastatic CRC stages and detected by mAb198.3, regardless of KRAS and BRAF mutations. FAT1 mainly accumulates at the plasma membrane of cancer cells, whereas it is only marginally detected in normal human samples. Moreover, the study shows that FAT1 has an important role in cell invasiveness while it does not significantly influence apoptosis. mAb198.3 specifically recognises FAT1 on the surface of colon cancer cells and is efficiently internalised. Furthermore, it reduces cancer growth in a colon cancer xenograft model.

conclusionsThis study provides evidence that FAT1 and mAb198.3 may offer new therapeutic opportunities for CRC including the tumours resistant to current EGFR-targeted therapies.
