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 (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide is highly associated with distant organ metastasis. Lethal(2) giant larvae protein homolog 2 (LLGL2) is often dysregulated in various tumors; however, the pathogenesis of CRC remains unclean. This study highlighted the tumor suppressor function of LLGL2 in CRC. Depleted LLGL2 exhibits the pro-CRC effects. RNA sequencing reveals that LLGL2 suppresses CRC progression by inhibiting the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt pathway. Further analysis using RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing and shotgun mass spectrometry indicated that LLGL2 primarily regulates the stability of thrombospondin 3 (THBS3) mRNA by interacting with CCR4-NOT transcription complex subunit 1 (CNOT1), thus inactivating the PI3K-Akt pathway. Additionally, MDM2 acts as an upstream modulator of LLGL2 and promotes its degradation via the proteasomal pathway. This novel mechanism reveals potential therapeutic targets for CRC treatment and enhanced the understanding of how CRC progression can be controlled.
