HECW2 promotes the progression and chemoresistance of colorectal cancer via AKT/mTOR signaling activation by mediating the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of lamin B1.
Article in Journal of Cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most common malignancies worldwide. Although a recent study has shown that E3 ubiquitin ligases play a major role in regulating the occurrence and development of CRC, there are few reports on the role of the E3 ubiquitin ligase HECW2(HECT, C2 and WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2) in CRC progression and chemoresistance. We found that HECW2 is highly expressed in CRC tissues. HECW2 knockdown inhibits CRC progression and chemoresistance, whereas HECW2 overexpression has the opposite effect. Mechanistically, HECW2 activates the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway by mediating the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of lamin B1, thereby promoting CRC progression and chemoresistance. Our findings suggest that HECW2 may be a promising novel therapeutic target for CRC treatment.
