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 cannabinoid-responsive G protein-coupled receptor GPR55 and its endogenous ligand L-α-lysophosphatidyl-inositol (LPI) have been reported to play a role in several cancers. A proliferation-enhancing effect of GPR55 has been described for several cancer cell lines and LPI has been found elevated in cancer patients. The aim of this study was to investigate whether GPR55 signaling had an effect on the proliferation of colon cancer cell lines. Using cell viability assays and Western blotting, we show that stable overexpression of the GPR55 receptor led to a growth advantage of SW480 cells per se. Proliferation of native colon cancer cell lines, however, was not affected by pharmacological manipulation of GPR55. Interestingly though, GPR55 signaling was responsive to treatment with both the GPR55 agonist LPI and the antagonist CID16020046 in the overexpressing cancer cell lines. This was evident through significantly increased or decreased levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2, respectively. Taken together, our findings suggest that GPR55 is constitutively activated in overexpressing colon cancer cells affecting ERK1/2 phosphorylation and cell proliferation.
