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

Foxp1 is a tumor suppressor in colon cancer. However, circFoxp1 derived from Foxp1 is an oncogene. In this study, we aim to investigate the role of circFoxp1 in colon cancer and the regulatory mechanism between circFoxp1 and Foxp1. 78 human colon tumor tissues and the matched paracancerous tissues were collected. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, quantitative methylation-specific PCR, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, CCK-8 assay, and Tumor xenograft in nude mice were performed. The expression of circFoxp1 was increased and Foxp1 was reduced in colon cancer tissues, which were associated with a poor overall survival rate of the patients with colon cancer. CircFoxp1 recruited DNMT1 to the promoter of Foxp1, leading to promotor hypermethylation, thereby inhibiting Foxp1 transcription. Interfering circFoxp1 by siRNA in SW620 cells significantly inhibited cell viability, while knockdown Foxp1 expression partially restored SW620 cell viability. In addition, knockdown of circFoxp1 significantly sensitized colon cancer cells to Capecitabine in vitro and vivo through regulating Foxp1. We discovered a novel epigenetic pathway that circFoxp1 regulated Foxp1 in colon cancer cells. CircFoxp1 may regulate DNA methylation and demethylation to coordinate colon cancer cell proliferation and participate in chemotherapy drug responses. Therefore, circFoxp1 may be a potential therapeutic target for colon cancer.
