RNF180 Inhibits Proliferation and Promotes Apoptosis of Colorectal Cancer Through Ubiquitination of WISP1.
Article in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally and is biologically and clinically heterogeneous. Due to lack of gene expression signatures for risk and prognosis stratification of CRC, identifying novel molecular biomarkers and therapeutic targets may potentially improve CRC prognosis and treatment. RNF180 has been shown to play key contributions to the development of several types of cancers. In the current study, we investigate its role in CRC. In this study, we show that RNF180 expression was significantly downregulated in human CRC tumors and cell lines. Overexpression of RNF180 in CRC cells markedly inhibited cell viability and induced cell apoptosis, while depletion of RNF180 dramatically enhanced cell survival. Moreover, WISP1 was found to be the critical downstream molecule that mediated the tumor suppressive effects of RNF180. Mechanistically, RNF180 ubiquitinated WISP1, resulting in WISP1 downregulation and ultimately leading to suppression of CRC tumor growth in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models. Last, 5-FU and RNF180 had synergetic effect on the apoptosis induction and tumor growth inhibition. Our findings revealed a crucial role of RNF180 in suppressing tumor growth by ubiquitinating WISP1 in CRC.
