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 regulation of colorectal cancer cell survival pathways remains to be elucidated. Previously, it was demonstrated that endothelial cells (EC) from the liver (liver parenchymal ECs or LPEC), the most common site of colorectal cancer metastases, secrete soluble factors in the conditioned medium (CM) that, in turn, increase the cancer stem cell phenotype in colorectal cancer cells. However, the paracrine effects of LPECs on other colorectal cancer cellular functions have not been investigated. Here, results showed that CM from LPECs increased cell growth and chemoresistance by activating AKT in colorectal cancer cells
