WEE1 Inhibitor Adavosertib Exerts Antitumor Effects on Colorectal Cancer, Especially in Cases with
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Inhibition of WEE1, a key regulator of the G2/M checkpoint of the cell cycle, induces apoptosis by initiating mitosis without repairing DNA damage. However, the effects of WEE1 inhibitors on the tumor immune microenvironment in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unclear. Here, we investigated the association between WEE1 expression and CRC clinicopathological features using surgically resected CRC specimens and assessed the antitumor effects of a WEE1 inhibitor using CRC cell lines and orthotopic transplantation mouse models. WEE1 expression was not correlated with the clinicopathological features of CRC. The WEE1 inhibitor suppressed cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner in all CRC cell lines. It also increased the percentage of cells in the G2/M phase and apoptotic cells, especially in cell lines with
