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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) has a high worldwide incidence and mortality. Tumor metastasis is one of the primary reasons for the poor prognosis of CRC patients. However, the mechanism underlying CRC metastasis is still unclear. Myosin 1B (MYO1B) is important for cell migration and motility and is part of the myosin superfamily that contains various myosins. Studies of prostate, cervical, and head and neck cancer have revealed preliminary findings concerning the effect of MYO1B on tumor metastasis. However, the role of MYO1B in CRC metastasis, as well as its underlying mechanism, remains unknown.

methodsQuantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemical staining methods were used to analyze the expression of MYO1B in human CRC and normal mucosa tissues. Lentivirus vector-based MYO1B oligonucleotides and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) were used to examine the functional relevance of MYO1B in CRC cells. Co-immunoprecipitation, western blotting, and immunofluorescence assays were used to investigate the underlying mechanism of MYO1B-mediated cell migration.

resultsThe expression of MYO1B was increased in most CRC tissues and was positively associated with a greater risk of tumor metastasis and poor prognosis for patients. MYO1B was significantly associated with the migration and invasion properties of CRC cells

conclusionsMYO1B plays a vital role in CRC metastasis by promoting the activation of RhoA. MYO1B may not only be a valid biomarker for predicting the risk of metastasis and poor prognosis in CRC but may also be a potential therapeutic target for patients with a high risk of tumor metastasis.
