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

Andrographis has anti-cancer activity in various human cancers, including colorectal cancer. Our aim was to explore the detailed mechanisms underlying Andrographis in colorectal cancer progression. Andrographis inhibited the proliferation, reduced the invasive ability, and induced apoptosis in LoVo and HCT-116 cells. LEM domain containing 1 (LEMD1) expression was upregulated in colorectal cancer cells and tissue samples, and Andrographis significantly decreased LEMD1 expression in LoVo and HCT-116 cells. LEMD1 knockdown restrained colorectal cancer development by inhibiting proliferation and invasion and triggering apoptosis. Krüppel-like factor 3 (KLF3) targeted LEMD1 and positively regulated its expression in colorectal cancer cells. KLF3 overexpression reversed the anti-tumor effects of Andrographis on LoVo and HCT-116 cells, and this reversal was attenuated by LEMD1 silencing. Additionally, Andrographis hampered tumor growth and downregulated KLF3 and LEMD1 expression in colorectal cancer mice. In conclusion, Andrographis exerts anti-tumor activity in colorectal cancer through decreasing KLF3 and LEMD1 expression.
