Low expression of the dynamic network markers FOS/JUN in pre-deteriorated epithelial cells is associated with the progression of colorectal adenoma to carcinoma.

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
backgroundDeterioration of normal intestinal epithelial cells is crucial for colorectal tumorigenesis. However, the process of epithelial cell deterioration and molecular networks that contribute to this process remain unclear.
methodsSingle-cell data and clinical information were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. We used the recently proposed dynamic network biomarker (DNB) method to identify the critical stage of epithelial cell deterioration. Data analysis and visualization were performed using R and Cytoscape software. In addition, Single-Cell rEgulatory Network Inference and Clustering (SCENIC) analysis was used to identify potential transcription factors, and CellChat analysis was conducted to evaluate possible interactions among cell populations. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and gene set variation analysis (GSVA) analyses were also performed.
resultsThe trajectory of epithelial cell deterioration in adenoma to carcinoma progression was delineated, and the subpopulation of pre-deteriorated epithelial cells during colorectal cancer (CRC) initialization was identified at the single-cell level. Additionally, FOS/JUN were identified as biomarkers for pre-deteriorated epithelial cell subpopulations in CRC. Notably, FOS/JUN triggered low expression of P53-regulated downstream pro-apoptotic genes and high expression of anti-apoptotic genes through suppression of P53 expression, which in turn inhibited P53-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, malignant epithelial cells contributed to the progression of pre-deteriorated epithelial cells through the GDF signaling pathway.
conclusionsWe demonstrated the trajectory of epithelial cell deterioration and used DNB to characterize pre-deteriorated epithelial cells at the single-cell level. The expression of DNB-neighboring genes and cellular communication were triggered by DNB genes, which may be involved in epithelial cell deterioration. The DNB genes FOS/JUN provide new insights into early intervention in CRC.
