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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant carcinoma worldwide. DNA polymerase epsilon 2, accessory subunit (POLE2) participates in DNA replication, repair, and cell cycle control, but its association with CRC development remains unclear. In the present study, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CRC were screened from bioinformatics analysis based on GEO database. RT-qPCR was used to assess mRNA expression. CCK-8 and colony formation assays were applied for the evaluation of cell proliferation. Wound healing and transwell assays were used to detect cell migration and invasion. Protein levels were determined by Western blotting assay. We found that POLE2 was highly expressed in CRC tissues and cell lines. Inhibition of POLE2 suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells. Mechanistically, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was inactivated by inhibition of POLE2. Activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway can reverse the function of POLE2 knockdown on CRC cells.
