The role of transcription factor Yin Yang-1 in colorectal cancer.
Review in Cancer medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundYin Yang-1 (YY1) is identified as a transcription factor with multiple functions. However, the role of YY1 in tumorigenesis remains controversial and its regulatory effects may depend upon not only cancer types, but also its interacting partners, chromatin structure, and the context in which it acts. It has been detected that YY1 was highly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC). Intriguingly, many YY1-repressed genes exhibit tumor suppressive potential while YY1 silencing is related to chemotherapy resistance. Therefore, it is crucial to meticulously explore YY1 protein structure and the dynamic alteration of its interactome in each cancer type. This review attempts to describe the structure of YY1, summarize the mechanism that influence the expression level of YY1 and also highlight the recent advances in our understanding of regulatory insights of YY1 functions in CRC.
methodsRelated studies were identified through scoping search of PubMed, Web of science, Scopus and Emhase concerning the terms of "colorectal cancer", colorectal carcinoma" or CRC with "YY1". The retrieval strategy included title, abstract, and keywords with no language limitations. All the included articles were categorized depending on the mechanisms they explored.
resultsIn total, 170 articles were identified for further screening. After removing the duplication, not relevant outcomes and review articles, 34 were finally included in the review. Among them, 10 articles revealed the reasons of YY1 high expression in CRC, 13 articles explored YY1 function in CRC, and 11 articles fell into both aspects. In addition, we also summarized 10 clinical trials concerning the expression and activity of YY1 in various diseases, which offers a hint for future application.
conclusionsYY1 is highly expressed in CRC and broadly recognized as an oncogenic factor during the whole course of CRC. Sporadic controversial views are raised in term of CRC treatment, reminding us that future studies should take the influence of therapeutic regimens into concern.
