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 the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. NudC domain containing 1 (NUDCD1) was identified as an oncoprotein which was activated or over-expressed in various human cancers. We aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of NUDCD1 in human CRC. The expression of NUDCD1 in CRC and pericarcinous tissues from 70 CRC patients were determined by real-time PCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. The correlation between the expression of NUDCD1 and clinical characteristics was analyzed. The expression of NUDCD1 in five CRC cell lines and normal colon mucosal epithelial cell line was measured by real-time PCR. Then we knock down NUDCD1 in HCT116 and HT 29 cells. The cell viability assay, scratch assay, migration and invasion assay and flow cytometry were used to analyze NUDCD1's effects on the proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle and apoptosis of CRC cells. NUDCD1's effects on CRC xenografts of nude mice was also determined. Results showed that the expression of NUDCD1 was much higher in CRC tissues than that in pericarcinous tissues. Over-expression of NUDCD1 in human CRC tissues was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and advanced stages. The expression of NUDCD1 was higher in all of the CRC cell lines than that in normal colon epithelial mucosal cells. To knockdown NUDCD1 resulted in significant decreases in cell viability and proliferation, decreased protein expression of N-cadherin and increased protein expression of E-cadherin which were biomarkers of EMT, arrested the cell cycle and increased apoptosis via down-regulated cyclin D1, Bcl2, and up-regulated cleaved-caspase3. Furthermore, to knockdown NUDCD1 inactivated IGF1R-ERK1/2 signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo, and suppressed the xenografts of CRC. In conclusion, NUDCD1 promotes the carcinogenesis and metastasis of CRC through inducing EMT and inhibiting apoptosis, which suggests NUDCD1 be a potential biomarker for CRC.
