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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant cancers and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in worldwide. Although the monoclonal antibody therapy is prescribed for CRC, the metastasis resistant to therapy is the major cause of death of patients with CRC, which indicating the urgent demands for new therapeutic targets discovery. Aquaporin 8 (AQP8) has been identified alter expressed in several cancers including breast cancer, lung cancer and prostatic carcinoma. Our study demonstrated the functional significance of AQP8 in CRC cells growth and metastasis. Over-expression of AQP8 remarkably decreased growth, aggressiveness and colony formation in the CRC SW480 and HT-29 cells. Mechanistically, AQP8 over-expression inhibited tumorigenic phenotype by inactivating PI3K/AKT signaling and inhibiting PCDH7 expression. Furthermore, in vivo studies using nude mice xenograft and metastasis model identified the pivotal role of AQP8 in CRC cells growth and metastasis. Taken together, the present study verifies the vital role of the endogenous AQP8 in colorectal cancer progression.
