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

Distant metastasis is a major cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) but the management of advanced and metastatic CRC still remains problematic due to the distinct molecular alterations during tumor progression. Tumor angiogenesis is a key step in tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. However, the signaling pathways involved in angiogenesis are poorly understood. The results of the present study showed that secretogranin II (SCG2) was significantly downregulated in malignant CRC tissues, and higher expression of SCG2 was correlated with longer disease-free survival and overall survival of CRC patients. The results of an animal study showed that ectopic expression of SCG2 significantly inhibited CRC tumor growth by disrupting angiogenesis. Furthermore, the inhibition of expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by SCG2 and rescue of VEGF effectively blocked SCG2-induced inhibition of angiogenesis. Investigations into the underlying mechanism suggested that SCG2 promoted degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α by interacting with the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor in CRC cells. Blocking of degradation of HIF-1α effectively attenuated the SCG2-mediated decrease in expression of VEGF in CRC cells. Collectively, these results demonstrated that treatment with SCG2 effectively inhibited CRC tumor growth by disrupting the activities of HIF-1α/VEGF, thereby clarifying the anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis roles of SCG2 in CRC, while providing a novel therapeutic target and a potential prognostic marker of disease progression.
