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

Desmosomes are essential structures for ensuring tissue functions, and their deregulation is involved in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). JUP (γ-catenin) is a desmosome adhesion component that also acts as a signaling hub, suggesting its potential involvement in CRC progression. In this context, we recently demonstrated that miR-195-5p regulated JUP and desmosome cadherins expression. In addition, miR-195-5p gain of function indirectly modulated the expression of key effectors of the Wnt pathway involved in JUP-dependent signaling. Here, our purpose was to demonstrate the aberrant expression of miR-195-5p and JUP in CRC patients and to functionally characterize the role of miR-195-5p in the regulation of desmosome function. First, we showed that miR-195-5p was downregulated in CRC tumors compared to adjacent normal tissue. Then, we demonstrated that JUP expression was significantly increased in CRC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. The effects of miR-195-5p on CRC progression were assessed using in vitro transient transfection experiments and in vivo miRNA administration. Increased miR-195-5p in colonic epithelial cells strongly inhibits cell proliferation, viability, and invasion via JUP. In vivo gain of function of miR-195-5p reduced the numbers and sizes of tumors and significantly ameliorated the histopathological changes typical of CRC. In conclusion, our findings indicate a potential pharmacological target based on miR-195-5p replacement as a new therapeutic approach in CRC.
