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
Aberrant hyperactivation of Wnt signaling, driven by nuclear β-catenin in the colonic epithelium, represents the seminal event in the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite its established role in CRC tumorigenesis, clinical translation of Wnt inhibitors remains unsuccessful. Late SV40 factor (LSF; encoded by TFCP2) is a transcription factor and a potent oncogene. The current study identified a chemotype, named factor quinolinone inhibitors (FQIs), that specifically inhibits LSF DNA-binding, partner protein-binding, and transactivation activities. The role of LSF and FQIs in CRC tumor growth was examined. Herein, the study showed that LSF and β-catenin interacted in several CRC cell lines irrespective of their mutational profile, which was disrupted by FQI2-34. FQI2-34 suppressed Wnt activity in CRC cells in a dose-dependent manner. Leveraging both allogeneic and syngeneic xenograft models showed that FQI2-34 suppressed CRC tumor growth, significantly reduced nuclear β-catenin, and down-regulated Wnt targets such as axis inhibition protein 2 (AXIN-2) and SRY-box transcription factor 9, in the xenograft cells. FQI2-34 suppressed the proliferation of xenograft cells. Adenocarcinomas from a series of stage IV CRC patients revealed a positive correlation between LSF expression and Wnt targets (AXIN-2 and SRY-box transcription factor 9) within the CRC cells. Collectively, this study uncovers the Wnt inhibitory and CRC growth-suppressive effects of these LSF inhibitors in CRC cells, revealing a novel target in CRC therapeutics.
