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

Histidine triad nucleotide-binding 2 (HINT2), a member of the histidine triad proteins family, sensitizes cells to apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma. Here, we showed that HINT2 expression is lower in primary colorectal cancer (CRC) and metastasis tissues than in normal colorectal tissues, and that HINT2 abundance is inversely correlated with CRC tumor stage. Treating CRC cells with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine, a demethylating agent, upregulated HINT2, suggesting HINT2 downregulation is caused by methylation of the gene promoter. HINT2 downregulation increased tumor migration and invasion in vitro, promoted CRC cell metastasis in vivo, and increased expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. Furthermore, HINT2 downregulation depended on hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-2α-mediated transcriptional activation of zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1). These results suggest that HINT2 downregulation promotes HIF-2α expression, which induces EMT and enhances CRC cell migration and invasion. HINT2 may thus a useful clinical indicator of CRC progression and metastasis risk.
