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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, primarily due to tumor heterogeneity and treatment resistance. The leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 19 (LRRC19) has been linked to immune regulation and tumor suppression, yet its specific role in CRC remains poorly understood.

aimTo investigate the tumor-suppressive role of LRRC19 in CRC, focusing on cell cycle, immune microenvironment, and chemotherapy response.

methodsBioinformatics analyses of Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas databases identified differentially expressed genes in CRC. LRRC19 expression was validated in CRC tissues and cell lines by quantitative PCR, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting. Functional assays, including proliferation, soft agar colony formation, flow cytometry, and xenograft models, assessed biological effects. Mechanistic studies with dual-luciferase reporter assays, molecular docking, and drug sensitivity testing explored LRRC19's interaction with the cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6)/E2F1 axis and oxaliplatin (OXA) response. Single-cell sequencing and immune infiltration analyses assessed its impact on the immune microenvironment.

resultsLRRC19 expression was significantly downregulated in CRC and associated with poor prognosis. Overexpression of LRRC19 inhibited CRC cell proliferation, induced G0/G1 phase arrest, and suppressed tumor growth

conclusionLRRC19 suppresses CRC by targeting the CDK6/E2F1 axis, modulating the immune microenvironment, and enhancing chemotherapy sensitivity, making it a promising therapeutic target for precision medicine in CRC.
