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

Increased abnormal spindle-like microcephaly (ASPM) expression has been linked to clinical stage and poor prognosis in cancers, but the molecular mechanisms by which ASPM promotes cell metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been identified. This study showed that the abilities of cell migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were attenuated in ASPM-deficient CRC cell lines. Furthermore, we reported that attenuation of ASPM expression inhibited CRC cell metastasis in vivo. Additionally, the expression of ASPM was positively correlated with β-catenin level in CRC tissues. Mechanistically, ASPM can upregulate β-catenin transcription by stimulating the β-catenin promoter and enhancing the nuclear translocation of β-catenin in CRC cells, which leads to the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Finally, we showed that ASPM effectively induced CRC cell migration and invasion in a β-catenin-dependent manner.
