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

The overactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC) development. We identified the cell adhesion molecule L1CAM (L1) as a target of β-catenin-TCF transactivation in CRC cells. The overexpression of L1 in CRC cells confers enhanced proliferation, motility, tumorigenesis and liver metastasis, and L1 is exclusively localized in the invasive areas of human CRC tissue. A number of genes are induced after L1 transfection into CRC cells by a mechanism involving the cytoskeletal protein ezrin and the NF-κB pathway. When studying the changes in gene expression in CRC cells overexpressing L1 in which ezrin levels were suppressed by shRNA to ezrin, we discovered the collagen-modifying enzyme lysyl hydroxylase 2 (PLOD2) among these genes. We found that increased PLOD2 expression was required for the cellular processes conferred by L1, including enhanced proliferation, motility, tumorigenesis and liver metastasis, since the suppression of endogenous PLOD2 expression, or its enzymatic activity, blocked the enhanced tumorigenic properties conferred by L1. The mechanism involved in increased PLOD2 expression by L1 involves ezrin signaling and PLOD2 that affect the SMAD2/3 pathway. We found that PLOD2 is localized in the colonic crypts in the stem cell compartment of the normal mucosa and is found at increased levels in invasive areas of the tumor and, in some cases, throughout the tumor tissue. The therapeutic strategies to target PLOD2 expression might provide a useful approach for CRC treatment.
