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

Vascular cell adhesion molecular 1 (VCAM1), an important member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is related to the development of malignant tumors, such as breast cancer, melanoma, and renal clear cell carcinoma. However, the molecular role and mechanism of VCAM1 in the regulation of the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) has rarely been studied. The results of IHC and RT-PCR analyses proved that VCAM1 was upregulated in human CRC tissues compared with matched adjacent normal intestinal epithelial tissues. Moreover, analysis of data from the TCGA and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases revealed that a higher level of VCAM1 was strongly correlated with poor differentiation, metastasis, and short survival in CRC patients. Furthermore, VCAM1 significantly influenced the invasion and metastasis of CRC cells
