Proteasomes in Patient Rectal Cancer and Different Intestine Locations: Where Does Proteasome Pool Change?
Article in Cancers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
A special problem in the surgery of rectal cancer is connected with a need for appropriate removal of intestine parts, along with the tumor, including the fragment close to the sphincter. To determine the length of fragments to remove, it is necessary to reveal areas without changes in molecule functioning, specific for tumor. The purpose of the present study was to investigate functioning the proteasomes, the main actors in protein hydrolysis, in patient rectal adenocarcinoma and different intestine locations. Chymotrypsin-like and caspase-like activities, open to complex influence of different factors, were analyzed in 43-54 samples by Suc-LLVY-AMC- and Z-LLE-AMC-hydrolysis correspondingly. Both activities may be arranged by the decrease in the location row: cancer→adjacent tissue→proximal (8-20 cm from tumor) and distal (2 and 4 cm from tumor) sides. These activities did not differ noticeably in proximal and distal locations. Similar patterns were detected for the activities and expression of immune subunits LMP2 and LMP7 and expression of 19S and PA28αβ activators. The largest changes in tumor were related to proteasome subtype containing LMP2 and PA28αβ that was demonstrated by native electrophoresis. Thus, the results indicate a significance of subtype LMP2-PA28αβ for tumor and absence of changes in proteasome pool in distal fragments of 2-4 cm from tumor.
