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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a commonly diagnosed cancer with poor prognosis and high mortality rate. Hyperthermia (HT) is an adjunctive therapy to enhance the antitumor effects of traditional chemo- or radio- therapy. Here, we report that a cluster of essential regulator genes and speed-limit enzymes of glucose metabolism were significantly elevated under HT from a glucose metabolism PCR array analysis. Under low glucose supply or glucose metabolism inhibition, CRC cells displayed increased sensitivity to HT treatments. By transcript sequencing from the established HT resistant (HTR) colon cancer cell line LoVo HTR, we observed that IGF2BP1, an RNA-binding protein, was significantly upregulated in HTR cells compared with parental cells. Furthermore, LDHA mRNA was identified as an IGF2BP1 direct target. An RNA immunoprecipitation assay and RNA pull-down assay consistently illustrated IGF2BP1 specifically bonds to the 3' UTR of LDHA mRNA, leading to enhanced stability of LDHA mRNA. Finally, we demonstrated that inhibiting the IGF2BP1-promoted glycolysis sensitized colon cancer cells to HT treatment via both
