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

Wound healing is related to proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of keratinocytes. Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) is an important N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader, which is involved in multiple processes, including wound healing. However, the function and mechanism of IGF2BP2 in keratinocyte processes are largely uncertain. In the present study, expression levels of IGF2BP2 and heparanase (HPSE) were detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blotting assays. Cell proliferation was investigated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) analysis. Cell migration was determined through wound healing assay. Angiogenesis was measured by tube formation assay and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The interaction between IGF2BP2 and HPSE was analyzed by RNA immunoprecipitation, pull-down and luciferase reporter analyses. The results showed that IGF2BP2 expression was enhanced in wound healing. IGF2BP2 downregulation constrained HaCaT cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. IGF2BP2 knockdown decreased HPSE expression. IGF2BP2 could regulate HPSE stability by binding with 3' untranslated region (UTR) of HPSE. HPSE upregulation attenuated silencing IGF2BP2-mediated suppression of proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. As a conclusion, IGF2BP2 knockdown repressed proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of HaCaT cells by decreasing HPSE stability.
