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

Mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma (MCA) is characterized by a great mount of extracellular mucus fundamentally composed of Mucin2 (MUC2) which is significantly correlated with the high malignancy and strong invasive ability of MCA. However, rare is known about the underlying mechanism of the mucus accumulation in MCA. Our latest study demonstrated that SCF/c-KIT signaling was highly activated in MCA patients and mouse model, which up-regulated MUC2 transcription. In the present study, we paid a special interest in whether and how SCF/c-KIT signaling promoted mucus secretion by using wild-type (WT) C57BL mice and their littermates who harbor mutational c-kit gene (Wads
