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

objectiveColorectal cancer is a common malignancy worldwide. This research aimed to investigate the role of α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase alkB homologue 5 (ALKBH5), a N

methodsThe interaction relationship between FOXO3, miR-21, and SPRY2 were predicted by starBase 2.0 and determined using RIP, CHIP, and dual-luciferase reporter assays. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot were used to measure the gene and miRNA expressions of ALKBH5, FOXO3, miR-21, and SPRY2. The cell proliferation was determined using CCK8 and colony formation assays. The metastatic abilities were measured using wound healing and transwell assays.

resultsIn colorectal cancer, downregulated ALKBH5 is related to poor prognosis. Rescued ALKBH5 suppresses the proliferation and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells. The role of ALKBH5 is achieved by reducing the m(6)A modification of forkhead box O3 (FOXO3), which enhances its stability. FOXO3 targets miR-21 and increases the SPRY2 expressions. The antitumor effects of ALKBH5 can be blocked by FOXO3 knockdown, which is reversed by the miR-21 inhibitor.

conclusionALKBH5 plays an antitumor role in colorectal cancer by regulating the FOXO3/miR-21/SPRY2 axis, providing a new direction for colorectal cancer therapy.
