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

Background: The MTA1 protein encoded by metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) is a key component of the ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex, which is widely upregulated in cancers. MTA1 extensively affects downstream gene expression by participating in chromatin remodeling. Although it was defined as a metastasis-associated gene in first reports and metastasis is a process prominently affected by the tumor microenvironment, whether it affects the microenvironment has not been investigated. In our study, we elucidated the regulatory effect of MTA1 on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and how this regulation affects the antitumor effect of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in the tumor microenvironment of colorectal cancer. Methods: We detected the cytokines affected by MTA1 expression Results: MTA1 upregulation in colorectal cancer was found to drive an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. In the tumor microenvironment of MTA1-upregulated colorectal cancer, although CD8 Conclusion: Upregulation of MTA1 in colorectal cancer drives an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by decreasing the microphages from the tumor and inducing the residual macrophages into tumor-associated microphage phenotypes to block the activation of the killing CTL, which contributes to cancer progression.
