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

Protease-activated receptor 4 (PAR4), a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor family, was previously identified to be involved in the progression of cancer. Previous study revealed that the expression of PAR4 was increased in colorectal cancer tissues compared with the associated normal tissues, particularly in positive lymph node and poorly differentiated types of cancer. We hypothesized that PAR4 serves a function in the progression of colorectal cancer. In the present study, overexpression of PAR4 in colorectal cancer LoVo cells promoted proliferation, anchorage-independent growth and migration.
