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

E-cadherin, encoded by the CDH1 gene, plays an essential role in epithelial cellular adhesion, and the loss of it has been reported to be associated with tumor progression and metastasis, potentially offer a glimpse in to the development of colorectal cancer. The present study aimed to explore effect of CDH1-160 polymorphism, CDH1 transcription and its protein E-cadherin expression on colorectal cancer, meanwhile uncovering the underlying mechanism. Specimens from cancer loci, adjacent cancer tissue, and distal normal tissue from colorectal cancer patients were collected for Hematoxylin-eosin staining to detect the histopathological change of colorectal mucosa. Direct sequencing and Quantitative Real-Time PCR were used to detect the CDH1 genotype and its mRNA expression, respectively. E-cadherin expression was detected using the ElivisionTM plus method. As a result, we found that the A allele of the CDH1-160 may be a protective gene against colorectal cancer, and the C > A polymorphism may regulate its transcription activity and expression of E-cadherin. The decrease of the CDH1 mRNA transcription level and the absence of E-cadherin on the cytomembrane may promote intestinal mucosal carcinogenesis and accelerate cancer cell metastasis. Deficiency of cytomembrane expression of E-cadherin protein may have some early warning signs for malignant lesions of the gut mucosa.
