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

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a predominant contributor to global cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Oxaliplatin (OXP), a foundational chemotherapeutic agent for CRC, often exhibits limited efficacy due to the emergence of drug resistance. Although endothelin-1 (EDN1) has been implicated in tumor drug resistance, its role in oxaliplatin resistance in CRC remains poorly defined. This work aimed to define how EDN1 contributes to oxaliplatin resistance and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target. Methods: Public genomic datasets were analyzed to confirm EDN1 upregulation in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its association with poor prognosis. EDN1 expression was modulated in parental and oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cell lines via shRNA knockdown and lentiviral overexpression. Functional assays, including drug sensitivity, flow cytometry, and 5-Ethynyl-2 Results: The study identifies EDN1 as a pivotal mediator of oxaliplatin resistance in CRC. EDN1 expression is markedly upregulated in oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cells and is significantly associated with poor patient survival outcomes. Mechanistically, EDN1 overexpression activates the Yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling by promoting the nuclear translocation of β-arrestin1 (β-arr1), thereby facilitating chemoresistance. Importantly, the combinatorial inhibition of EDN1, in conjunction with oxaliplatin treatment, substantially enhances apoptosis and suppresses tumor growth both Conclusion: The study demonstrates that EDN1 governs oxaliplatin resistance through the β-arr1/YAP axis and provides preclinical evidence for targeting EDN1 to overcome chemoresistance in CRC.
