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

P4HA2 has been implicated in various malignant tumors; however, its expression and functional role in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain poorly elucidated. This study aims to investigate the involvement of P4HA2 in CRC metastasis and progression, uncovering the underlying mechanisms. In colorectal cancer (CRC), P4HA2 exhibited overexpression, and elevated levels of P4HA2 expression were associated with an unfavorable prognosis. Functional assays demonstrated P4HA2's regulation of cell proliferation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, the AGO1 expression was correlated with P4HA2, and depletion of AGO1 reversed the proliferation and EMT function induced by P4HA2. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and luciferase assays suggested that the transcription factor SP1 binds to the promoter sequence of P4HA2, activating its expression in CRC. This study unveiled SP1 as a transcriptional regulator of P4HA2 in CRC and AGO1 is a probable target of P4HA2. In conclusion, P4HA2 emerges as a potential prognostic biomarker and promising therapeutic target in colorectal cancer.
