1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Cancer metastasis remains a major cause of death in cancer patients, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a decisive role in cancer metastasis. Recently, abnormal expression of Glycine Decarboxylase (GLDC) has been demonstrated in tumor progression, and GLDC is up-regulated in cancers, such as lung, prostate, bladder, and cervical cancers. However, the exact role of GLDC in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression remains to be elucidated. The aim of our study was to explore the role of GLDC in CRC metastasis. The GSE75117 database was used to investigate GLDC expression in tumor center and invasive front tissues and we found that GLDC expression levels were higher in the invasive front tissue. GLDC expression levels were negatively correlated with the prognosis of CRC patients. In vitro studies have showed that GLDC can promote invasion and migration of CRC cells by inhibiting the Hippo signaling pathway and regulating the EMT process. Blocking the Hippo signaling pathway with Verteporfin reduced the effect of GLDC on CRC metastasis. In vivo metastasis assays further confirmed that tail vein injection of GLDC
