Targeting the Ajuba/Notch axis increases the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-fluorouracil.

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
Objective: Colorectal cancer is severely challenging because of the insufficient understanding of the mechanism underlying its resistance to clinical chemotherapy. The purpose of our study is to investigate the role of the LIM protein Ajuba (JUB) in the chemoresistance of colon cancer and its potential effect on clinical treatment. Material and Methods: The protein levels of JUB in colon cancer tissues were evaluated using Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry assays. The correlation between JUB and the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer was determined using Kaplan-Meier plot analysis. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays were employed to determine the 50% inhibitory concentration of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and thus assess the effect of JUB on the effectiveness of 5-FU. In addition, the rate of cellular apoptosis was measured using fluorescence-activated cell sorting assays. Side population and sphere formation analyses were conducted to determine the role of JUB in promoting the stem cell-like traits of colon cancer cells. Results: JUB expression was upregulated in chemoresistant colon cancer ( Conclusion: Results suggest that JUB plays an important role and may serve as a biomarker for the clinical treatment of patients with 5-FU-resistant colon cancer.
