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) remains the most common gastrointestinal cancer and a leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with most showing pathologies indicating the malignant transformation of early stage intestinal stem cells. The long non-coding RNA Meg3, which functions as a tumor suppressor, has been reported to be abnormal in multiple tumorigenesis events; however, the underlying mechanism by which Meg3 contributes to the malignant proliferation of colonic stem cells remains unclear.

methodsWe analyzed the expression levels of Meg3, miR-708, and SOCS3 in samples from Apc loss-of-function (Apc

findingsThe Meg3/miR-708/SOCS3 signaling axis plays a critical role in the early stage of CRC development. Our data showed Meg3 levels negatively correlate with miR-708 levels both in clinical samples and in the Apc

interpretationThese data revealed that Meg3 sponges miR-708 to inhibit CRC development via SOCS3-mediated repression of the malignant proliferation of colonic stem cells. The Meg3/miR-708/SOCS3 signaling axis provides potential targets for the diagnosis and treatment of CRC, particularly early stage CRC.
