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

Chronic colorectal inflammation has been associated with colorectal cancer (CRC); however, its exact molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) on the development of colitis-associated CRC (CAC) through its regulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. By using a CAC mouse model and immunohistochemistry, the present study discovered that the protein expression levels of TLR9 were gradually upregulated during the development of CRC. In addition, the expression levels of TLR9 were revealed to be positively correlated with NF-κB and Ki67 expression levels. In vitro, inhibiting TLR9 expression levels using chloroquine decreased the cell viability, proliferation and migration of the CRC cell line HT29, and further experiments indicated that this may occur through downregulating the expression levels of NF-κB, proliferating cell nuclear antigen and Bcl-xl. In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggested that TLR9 may serve an important role in the development of CAC by regulating NF-κB signaling.
