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

LIM and SH3 protein 1 (LASP1) is a metastasis-related protein reported to enhance tumour progression in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the underlying mechanism is still elusive. As the major biological and pathological functions of LASP1 are accomplished by its LIM and SH3 domains via protein-protein interactions, a yeast two-hybrid system was employed to screen novel LASP1-interacting proteins. N-WASP, a member of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) family, was screened and identified as a LASP1-interacting protein overexpressed in CRC tissues. N-WASP could stimulate the migration and invasion of CRC cells in vitro and increase the formation of subcutaneous tumours, mesenteric implanted tumours and hepatic metastatic tumours. N-WASP could interact with and activate the Arp2/3 complex to stimulate actin polymerization, thus changing the migratory and invasive capabilities of CRC cells. The interaction of LASP1 with N-WASP did not influence the expression of N-WASP but recovered the reduced actin polymerization induced by N-WASP silencing. High N-WASP expression was detected in most clinical colorectal samples, and it was positively correlated with the expression of LASP1 and ARP3, as well as the tumour budding and pattern of invasion, but negatively correlated with host lymphocytic response. Our study suggests a new mechanism for LASP1-mediated CRC metastasis determined by exploring LASP1-interacting proteins and identifies N-WASP as a potential therapeutic target for CRC.
