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.
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
backgroundThe impact of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), differentially expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC), on 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) chemoresistance has not been fully explained. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical significance of ATF4-mediated microRNA-145 (miR-145)/histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4)/p53 axis in CRC.
methodsInitially, the expression of ATF4, miR-145, HDAC4, and p53 in CRC tissues and cells was quantified by RT-qPCR and immunoblotting. Next, luciferase activity and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were performed to verify the binding affinity among miR-145, ATF4, and HDAC4. Moreover, proliferation, clone formation, and apoptosis in CRC cells treated with 5-FU were assessed after gain- or loss-of-function of ATF4, miR-145, and/or HDAC4. Furthermore, the tumorigenicity and chemoresistance of CRC cells in mice were assayed for validating the in vitro findings.
resultsATF4 and HDAC4 were highly expressed, while miR-145 and p53 were poorly expressed in CRC tissues and cells. miR-145 targeted and negatively regulated HDAC4 to activate p53, and miR-145 expression was suppressed by ATF4. Of note, ATF4 facilitated cell proliferation and clone formation ability and repressed apoptosis to promote autophagy and chemoresistance of CRC cells by regulating the miR-145/HDAC4/p53 axis. In vivo experiment elucidated that ATF4-mediated miR-145/HDAC4/p53 axis enhanced tumorigenesis and resistance of CRC cells to 5-FU.
conclusionIn conclusion, ATF4-mediated miR-145 inhibition accelerated autophagy of CRC cells and boosted their resistance to 5-FU via the HDAC4/p53 axis.
