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 is the most common gastrointestinal cancer and causes severe damage to human health. PRDX2 is a member of the peroxiredoxin family reported to have a high level of expression in colorectal cancer. However, the mechanisms by which PRDX2 promotes the proliferation of colorectal cancer are still unclear. Here, the results indicated that PRDX2 expression was upregulated in colorectal cancer and closely correlated with poor prognosis. Functionally, PRDX2 promoted the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells. Mechanistically, PRDX2 could bind RPL4, reducing the interaction between RPL4 and MDM2. These findings demonstrate that the oncogenic property of PRDX2 may be attributed to its regulation of the RPL4-MDM2-p53 pathway, leading to p53 ubiquitinated degradation.
