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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is experiencing a significant increase in both incidence and mortality rates globally. The expression of Selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) has been reported to be notably downregulated in various malignancies, yet its biological functions and cellular mechanisms in CRC remain incompletely understood.

methodsIn our investigation, we observed downregulation of SELENBP1 in CRC tissues through quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting, and identified a positive correlation between higher SELENBP1 expression and improved survival prognosis using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Through loss-of-function and gain-of-function studies, we demonstrated the tumor-suppressive roles of SELENBP1 in CRC, supported by results from both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Furthermore, we uncovered the pivotal functions of SELENBP1 in suppressing aerobic glycolysis in CRC cells by regulating glucose uptake, lactate generation, and extracellular acidification rate. At a mechanistic level, we found that SELENBP1 inhibits the expression of the key glycolytic modulator hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1α), and the inhibition of glycolysis by SELENBP1 can be reversed by ectopic expression of HIF1α.

resultsTherefore, our study highlights the potential of SELENBP1 as a promising target for CRC therapy, given its significant impact on tumor suppression and reprogrammed glucose metabolism.

conclusionThese findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying CRC progression and may pave the way for the development of targeted therapies for this challenging disease.
