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

Aquaporin-9 (AQP9) expression is associated with arsenic sensitivity in leukemia cells. However, the role of AQP9 in regulating tumor sensitivity to adjuvant chemotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been elucidated. In this study, we demonstrated that AQP9 can serve as an independent predictive marker for adjuvant chemotherapy in CRC. Patients with high AQP9 expression had higher rate of disease-free survival (DFS) than those with low AQP9 expression. Upregulation of AQP9 was associated with enhanced chemosensitivity to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) both in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of AQP9 resulted in an increased intracellular level of 5-FU in CRC cells, hence leading to a higher percentage of apoptosis after 5-FU treatment. Moreover, AQP9 is positively associated with RAS activation and other downstream signaling molecules in CRC. AQP9 overexpression resulted in p21 upregulation and induced S-phase arrest. Taken together, AQP9 enhances the cytotoxic response to 5-FU in CRC cells by simultaneously inducing S-phase arrest via activation of RAS signaling and facilitating drug uptake. Our results suggest that AQP9 might be a novel predictor for the benefit of 5-FU-based chemotherapy in CRC. The identification of AQP9-induced tumor sensitivity to 5-FU highlights the role of AQP9 in regulating chemosensitivity in CRC.
