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

The Tie receptors 1 and 2 (Tie1/2) play crucial roles in embryonic angiogenesis. Recent studies suggest enhanced expression of Tie1 in several types of cancer and negative correlations between Tie1 levels and clinical outcome. These observations suggest important functions of Tie1 not only for vascular formation but also in tumorigenesis. Ligands for Tie2, that is angiopoietins 1-4, have been identified, but not for Tie1. To determine the molecular functions of Tie1, its detailed characterization in tumors would be helpful. Herein, we report that Tie1 is up-regulated in colorectal cancer. Detailed analysis using tumor-bearing models and immunohistochemistry combined with Flow cytometric analysis and cell sorting (FACS) revealed that Tie1 protein was expressed in a small population of malignant tumor cells. Intriguingly, Tie1 expression was observed and could be maintained only in vivo. Further analysis using sphere-formation culture revealed that Tie1-positive cells are enriched within the population of tumor cells with cancer stemness properties. Indeed, Tie1-positive tumor cells derived from a murine model overexpressed Lgr5, a typical stemness marker for colorectal cancer. Our results provide a novel insight into Tie1 function in tumorigenesis and suggest clinical applications to target cancer stem cells.
