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 a prevalent malignant tumor worldwide, leading to significant morbidity and disease burden. Diagnostic indicators and treatment objectives for CRC are urgently needed. This study demonstrates that GPR37, a GPCR receptor, is highly expressed in CRC. Depletion of GPR37 significantly reduced CRC tumor cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. Further tests showed that GPR37 protects cancer cells from ferroptosis by upregulating SCD1 expression, thereby modulating lipid metabolism, suppressing the level of reactive oxygen species, and mitigating ferroptosis. Mechanistic studies have shown that GPR37 modulates lipid metabolism in tumor cells by promoting SCD1 transcription via the MAPK-p38 signaling pathway. Our results reveal the pro-carcinogenic effect of GPR37 in primary CRC and suggest that targeting GPR37 could be a potential therapeutic target for CRC.
