Knockdown of UBQLN1 Functions as a Strategy to Inhibit CRC Progression through the ERK-c-Myc Pathway.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeColorectal cancer (CRC) is characterized by the absence of obvious symptoms in the early stage. Due to the high rate of late diagnosis of CRC patients, the mortality rate of CRC is higher than that of other malignant tumors. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that UBQLN1 plays an important role in many biological processes. However, the role of UBQLN1 in CRC progression is still elusive. METHODS AND
resultswe found that UBQLN1 was significantly highly expressed in CRC tissues compared with normal tissues. Enhanced/reduced UBQLN1 promoted/inhibited CRC cell proliferation, colony formation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro, and knockdown of UBQLN1 inhibited CRC cells' tumorigenesis and metastasis in nude mice in vivo. Moreover, the knockdown of UBQLN1 reduced the expression of c-Myc by downregulating the ERK-MAPK pathway. Furthermore, the elevation of c-Myc in UBQLN1-deficient cells rescued proliferation caused by UBQLN1 silencing.
conclusionsKnockdown of UBQLN1 inhibits the progression of CRC through the ERK-c-Myc pathway, which provides new insights into the mechanism of CRC progression. UBQLN1 may be a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target of CRC.
