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

aimsSevoflurane and propofol are the most commonly used anesthetics in surgery. In this study, we aim to explore and clarify the function of sevoflurane and propofol in colorectal cancer.

methodsCell counting kit-8, colony formation, western blot, and transwell assays were performed to determine cell proliferation, apoptosis, ferroptosis, invasion, and migration. We performed overexpression experiments to detect the underlying molecular mechanism of sevoflurane and propofol. The genes related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition were measured by western blot.

resultsWe discovered that sevoflurane and propofol co-treatment exerted more anti-tumor activities than just sevoflurane or propofol treatment in colorectal cancer cells in vitro. Mechanistically, our data showed that sevoflurane and propofol-induced apoptosis and ferroptosis and inhibited cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Additionally, TM2D1 was considered a target of sevoflurane and propofol, and TM2D1 overexpression reversed the effect of sevoflurane and propofol on colorectal cancer cell biology behaviors.

conclusionOur results showed a novel anti-tumor mechanism of sevoflurane and propofol in colorectal cancer cells, and TM2D1 might be an underlying therapeutic target for treating colorectal cancer patients.
