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

purposeE3 ubiquitin ligase ZNRF3 is linked to the pathogenesis of diseases and tumorigenesis. The present study aims to explore the expression of ZNRF3 and its association with prognostic survival of human colorectal carcinoma.

methodsA follow-up survey of 168 patients with colorectal carcinoma was performed, and specimens of colorectal tissues were collected for immunohistochemistry and Western blotting analyses. Furthermore, overexpression of ZNRF3 using transient transfection with the recombinant pEGFP-ZNRF3 plasmid and detection of apoptosis and proliferation were performed in HCT-116 cells.

resultsThe results showed a diverse feature of ZNRF3 staining, such as strong, moderate, weak, or negative, in colorectal carcinoma tissues. Interestingly, univariate Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that cases with strong or moderate expression of ZNRF3 showed an optimistic disease-free survival and overall survival compared with negative expression of ZNRF3, and multivariate Cox model demonstrated ZNRF3 as an independent prediction index for overall survival and disease-free survival. In vitro, the overexpression of ZNRF3 was related to the negative regulation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway and referred to an induction of apoptosis and suppression of proliferation in ZNRF3-transfected HCT-116 cells.

conclusionOur results suggest that the higher expression of ZNRF3 acts as a novel marker of indicating the optimistic prognosis of colorectal carcinoma by suppressing cancer cell growth and facilitating apoptosis.
