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

Overcoming cancer and enhancing patient survival are becoming increasingly challenging due to the uncontrolled growth and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells. In order to provide effective cancer treatment and minimize the malignancy of cancer cells, it is necessary to understand how complex signaling networks contribute to their invasion and proliferation. The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a promising target due to its involvement in various cellular functions, including apoptosis, immunosuppression, cell invasion, migration, and proliferation. Dysregulation of STAT3 signaling is associated with diseases, particularly colorectal cancer. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a subset of non-coding RNAs, are essential for the progression, apoptosis, and metastasis of CRC as they regulate key signaling pathways such as STAT3 signaling and contribute to gene regulation at the epigenetic, transcriptional, and post-transcriptional levels. Moreover, lncRNAs have a key function in regulating immune cells function through STAT3. In this study, we comprehensively reviewed the regulatory roles of different lncRNAs on STAT3 and the mutual effects of this pathway in various aspects of carcinogenesis, including proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, drug resistance, and angiogenesis. Moreover, we investigate the effects of lncRNA/STAT3 axis on the function of different immune cells that play critical role in the tumor microenvironment.
