Mutations in the coat complex II component SEC23B promote colorectal cancer metastasis.
Article in Cell death & disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Metastasis is the leading cause of death for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the protein transport process involved in CRC metastasis remains unclear. In this report, we use whole-exome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis to identify somatic mutations in CRC samples and found mutations of the protein transport gene Sec23 homolog B (SEC23B) in patients with metachronous liver metastasis. We show that deletion of SEC23B suppresses the membrane localization of adhesion proteins and augments cell mobility. SEC23B mutations either cause a premature stop (C649T) or impair its protein transport activity (C1467G and T488C + G791A + G2153A). Furthermore, SEC23B mutations inhibit the transport of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EPCAM) and CD9 molecule, thereby attenuating cell adhesion and promoting invasiveness both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, these data demonstrate the important impact of SEC23B mutations on metastasis, and we propose that SEC23B is a potential suppressor of CRC metastasis.
