Article in Molecular oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Inflammatory bowel disease, characterised by chronic relapsing-remitting colitis, is a significant risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). Previously, we showed that miR-126 functions as a tumour suppressor in CRC and is inversely correlated with tumour proliferation, metastasis and patient prognosis. In the current study, we documented a protective role for miR-126 in colitis-associated CRC (CAC) and its underlying mechanism. We detected downregulated miR-126 expression during colorectal tumorigenesis in the mouse CAC model and in specimens from patients with CRC. The deficiency of miR-126 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) exacerbated tumorigenesis in mice. We identified CXCL12 as a direct target of miR-126 in inhibiting the development of colitis and CAC. Moreover, miR-126 regulated the recruitment of macrophages via CXCL12 and decreased the levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-12 and IL-23). In addition, IL-6 secreted by macrophages, which were regulated by cocultured transfected CRC cells, altered the proliferation and migration of colon cells. Our data suggest that miR-126 exerts an antitumour effect on CAC by regulating the crosstalk between IECs and macrophages via CXCL12-IL-6 signalling. Our study contributes to the understanding of cancer progression and suggests miR-126 as a potential therapy for CRC.
