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

backgroundColon cancer (CC) cells can exhibit stemness and expansion capabilities, which contribute to resistance to conventional chemotherapies. Aberrant expression of CBX8 has been identified in many types of cancer, but the cause of this aberrant CBX8 expression and whether CBX8 is associated with stemness properties in CC remain unknown.

methodsqRT-PCR and IHC were applied to examine CBX8 levels in normal and chemoresistant CC tissues. Cancer cell stemness and chemosensitivity were evaluated by spheroid formation, colony formation, Western blot and flow cytometry assays. RNA-seq combined with ChIP-seq was used to identify target genes, and ChIP, IP and dual luciferase reporter assays were applied to explore the underlying mechanisms.

resultsCBX8 was significantly overexpressed in chemoresistant CC tissues. In addition, CBX8 could promote stemness and suppress chemosensitivity through LGR5. Mechanistic studies revealed that CBX8 activate the transcription of LGR5 in a noncanonical manner with assistance of Pol II. CBX8 recruited KMT2b to the LGR5 promoter, which maintained H3K4me3 status to promote LGR5 expression. Moreover, m
