Extracellular Matrix Protein 1 Regulates Colorectal Cancer Cell Proliferative, Migratory, Invasive and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Activities Through the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/Snail Signaling Axis.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
In prior reports, extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) upregulation has been reported in colorectal cancer (CRC) patient tumor tissues, and has been suggested to be related to the metastatic progression of CRC, although the underlying mechanisms have yet to be clarified. In this study, we found that ECM1 was overexpressed in both CRC tissues and cell lines. Upregulation of ECM1 was correlated with tumor size, lymph node status and TNM stage in CRC patients. Knocking down ECM1 suppressed CRC cell growth, migration and invasion, in addition to reducing the expression of Vimentin and increasing E-cadherin expression. The overexpression of ECM1, in contrast, yielded the opposite phenotypic outcomes while also promoting the expression of p-AKT, p-GSK3β, and Snail, which were downregulated when ECM1 was knocked down. Treatment with LY294002 and 740 Y-P reversed the impact upregulation and downregulation of ECM1 on CRC cell metastasis and associated EMT induction.
