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

backgroundHomer scaffolding protein 1 (Homer1) is a postsynaptic scaffold protein that regulates the structure and function of excitatory synaptic as well as its intracellular signal transduction. However, the role of Homer1 in colorectal cancer as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms has not been elucidated. MATERIALS AND

methodsTo evaluate the alternations of gene expression during colorectal cancer, Homer1 expression was analyzed using the gene expression profiling interactive analysis and Oncomine analyses. The prognostic value of Homer1 expression was validated by our own colorectal cancer specimens using RT-PCR. Then, the cell viability, migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cell lines were detected by CCK-8 and transwell assay.

resultsWe obtained the following important results. (1) Homer1 expression was significantly higher in colorectal cancer than normal samples. (2) Among patients with colorectal cancer, those with higher Homer1 expression had a lower survival rate. (3) The major mutation type of Homer1 in colorectal cancer samples was missense mutation. (4) Homer1 was able to promote colorectal cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion through up-regulating G3BP1 in vitro.

conclusionOur findings suggest that Homer1 may play a role in malignancy of colorectal cancer mainly through the G3BP1 signaling pathway, which might be a potential indicator of poor prognosis.
