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

objectiveHuman colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer; patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) show poor prognosis than those with CRC cases. There are no reliable molecular biomarkers for the diagnosis of CRC prognosis except with pathological features. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a biomarker for diagnosis and/or prediction of human CRC. In addition, capping actin protein (CapG) belongs to the gelsolin family and has been reported to contribute on tumor invasion/metastasis in multiple human cancers. Here, we are the first to evaluate the expression of CapG in human CRCs. STUDY

designTo investigate the expression levels of CapG in human tissue array by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Moreover, the mRNA and protein levels were also confirmed in four CRC cell lines and determined using real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting. Finally, a Matrigel transwell invasion assay was used to evaluate the invasion ability in CapG high or low expression cells.

resultsWe demonstrated that CapG could be determined in the normal colon tissue and human CRC specimens. However, CapG was significantly overexpressed in the mCRC specimens compared with that in CRC specimens and normal cases. It was also detectable in the four CRC cell lines including mRNA and protein levels. We also found that knockdown of the expression of CapG reduced tumor migration.

conclusionsIn this study, we suggested that CapG could be used as a biomarker for metastatic CRC in the clinical specimens. Moreover, our
