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

objectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) regulates ferroptosis evasion in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells.

methodsWe examined FMRP expression levels in CRC cell lines using RT-qPCR and Western blotting and analyzed the biological functions and signaling pathways involved in FMRP-mediated regulation of CRC progression using the TCGA database. A lentiviral FMRP overexpression vector (Lv-FMRP) and 3 knockdown vectors (siFMRP-1, siFMRP-2, and siFMRP-3) were constructed, and their effects on proliferation of HCT116 cells were examined using CCK8 assay and plate clone formation assay; the changes in cell ferroptosis level was determined using MDA/ROS/GSH/Fe

resultsCompared with normal colonic mucosal epithelial NCM460 cells, the CRC cell lines had significantly higher FMRP expression level. Bioinformatics analysis suggested the involvement of FMRP in regulation of reactive oxygen, oxidative stress-induced cell death, mitochondrial respiration, and glutathione metabolism pathways. In the cell experiments, FMRP knockdown significantly inhibited proliferation of HCT116 cells, lowered cellular GSH content, increased MDA and ROS levels, Fe

conclusionThe high expression of FMRP inhibits ferroptosis in CRC cells and promotes progression of CRC by activating the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway.
