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

objectiveTo investigate the significance of DCUN1D5 in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and determine the underlying mechanism.

methodsWe analyzed DCUN1D5 expression levels in CRC tissues using the TCGA and GEO databases and conducted immunohistochemistry and qPCR in retrieved CRC tissues. shRNA-mediated knockdown of DCUN1D5 in CRC cell lines was performed to investigate its effects on cell growth and motility. In addition, DCUN1D5-mediated promotion of CUL1 neddylation was examined using immunoblotting, the antitumor effects of inhibiting the neddylation pathway was evaluated using the inhibitor MLN4924, and the effects of silencing DCUN1D5 and MLN4924 treatment were validated in vivo using xenograft models.

resultsDCUN1D5 was found to be significantly overexpressed in CRC tissues, and its knockdown impaired CRC cell proliferation and migration, which was associated with reduced CUL1 neddylation. Inhibition of the neddylation pathway using the NEDD8 inhibitor MLN4924 supported these observations. In vivo, DCUN1D5 silencing and MLN4924 treatment led to reduced tumor growth and metastasis.

conclusionDCUN1D5 contributes to the growth and motility of CRC in vitro and in vivo.
