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

B7-H3, an important co-inhibitor, is abnormally highly expressed in a variety of malignancies. The antibodies targeting B7-H3 have exhibited beneficial therapeutic effects in clinical trials. Therefore, discovery of the regulatory factors in B7-H3 expression may provide new strategies for tumor therapy. Here, we investigated the splicing factors involved in the splicing of B7-H3. By individual knockdown of the splicing factors in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, we found that B7-H3 expression was markedly inhibited by SRSF3 and SRSF8, especially SRSF3. Then we found that both SRSF3 and B7-H3 were highly expressed in CRC tissues. Moreover, high-expression of either SRSF3 or B7-H3 was significantly correlated with poor prognosis of patients. The expression of B7-H3 mRNA and protein were evidently reduced by SRSF3 silence, but were enhanced by overexpression of SRSF3 in both HCT-116 and HCT-8 cells. The results from the RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays demonstrated that SRSF3 protein directly binds to B7-H3 mRNA. In addition, we constructed a minigene recombinant plasmid for expressing B7-H3 exons 3-6. We found that SRSF3 contributed to the retention of B7-H3 exon 4. These findings demonstrate that SRSF3 involves in the splicing of B7-H3 by directly binding to its exon 4 and/or 6. It may provide novel insights into the regulatory mechanisms of B7-H3 expression and potential strategies for the treatment of CRC.
