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

Esophageal cancer (EC) is a highly aggressive malignancy. ID1, a transcription factor overexpressed in multiple cancers, promotes tumor progression, but its molecular mechanisms in EC remain unclear. We hypothesized that ID1 drives EC progression by regulating the PTEN/YAP/Galectin-3 axis to induce proliferation and immune suppression. Bioinformatics analysis was employed to predict and validate the interactions between genes in esophageal cancer; protein expression levels, including ID1 and PTEN, were assessed using western blotting and immunofluorescence; tumor cell proliferation was evaluated with the CCK-8 assay; and macrophage phagocytosis function was tested through engulfment assays. Additionally, the effects of ID1 on esophageal cancer were investigated using subcutaneous tumor transplantation experiments in nude mice and immunohistochemical staining experiments of human cancerous tissues and peritumoral tissues. ID1 was found to inhibit the action of NFIC. When ID1 was overexpressed, there was a decrease in the expression levels of NFIC, PTEN, and p-YAP, and an increase in the levels of Galectin-3, Myc, CD47, and cyclin-A1. Overexpression of ID1 significantly enhanced the proliferation of esophageal cancer cells and improved the phagocytic ability of macrophages, whereas after treatment with PTEN agonists and YAP inhibitors, the proliferation of esophageal cancer cells decreased markedly, and the phagocytic ability of macrophages was reduced. Furthermore, overexpression of ID1 promoted the progression of esophageal cancer, and the expression of ID1 in human cancerous tissues was significantly higher than that in peritumoral tissues. ID1 promotes the progression of esophageal cancer by inducing proliferation and immune suppression through regulation of the PTEN/YAP/Galectin-3 signaling pathway.
