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 liver metastasis (CRLM) is a leading cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and is characterized by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). This study employs mouse in vivo selection to isolate highly metastatic CRLM derivatives for profiling their transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic alterations associated with CRLM. Notably, the expression of SLAMF3 is significantly upregulated in CRLM derivatives and its knockdown effectively suppresses CRLM in mice. RUNX1 transcriptionally upregulates SLAMF3 expression and combined targeting of the RUNX1/SLAMF3 axis synergistically suppresses liver metastasis in mice. In parallel, SLAMF3 suppresses macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of CRC cells through the SHP-1/2/mTORC1 pathway. Conversely, SLAMF3 knockdown promotes M1 polarization in liver metastases and activates the CCL signaling pathway between macrophages and CD8
