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.
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 third most common malignant tumor worldwide, with high recurrence and metastasis rates significantly impacting outcomes. This study explores the role of FBXO6, a ubiquitination-related protein, in regulating CRC malignancy, particularly cell migration and invasion. Our analysis reveals that higher FBXO6 expression correlates with better prognosis in CRC patients, although its expression decreases in advanced-stage tumors. Functional studies demonstrate that FBXO6 overexpression suppresses the invasive and migratory abilities of HCT116 and RKO cells and reduces single-cell colony formation. In contrast, FBXO6 knockdown promotes these malignant traits. Immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analyses identified ITGB1 as a key substrate of FBXO6, with potential prognostic relevance in CRC. Subsequent in vitro assays confirmed this interaction, revealing that FBXO6 binds ITGB1 at its glycoprotein recognition site, thereby reducing ITGB1 stability and attenuating downstream FAK/PI3K/AKT/ERK signaling. ITGB1 overexpression counteracts the suppressive effects of FBXO6, restoring downstream signaling activity. In vivo xenograft models further validate these findings: FBXO6 overexpression reduces tumor growth, Ki67 levels, and ITGB1-associated signaling. Additional rescue experiments show that FBXO6 counteracts the tumor-promoting effects of ITGB1 overexpression. In conclusion, FBXO6 suppresses CRC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by targeting ITGB1 for ubiquitination and disrupting key oncogenic signaling pathways, thereby supporting its potential as a prognostic biomarker and candidate therapeutic target in CRC.
