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

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary liver tumor with increasing incidence worldwide. Metabolic reprogramming caused by metabolic related gene disorders is a prominent hallmark of tumors, among which Glycogen Synthase 2 (GYS2) is the key gene responsible for regulating cellular energy metabolism, and its expression disorders are closely related to various tumors and glycometabolic diseases. However, we still know nothing about its role in ICC. This study is intended to reveal the functional role of GYS2 in the ICC progress and explore the underlying mechanism. Based on the integrated pan-cancer analysis of GYS2 in the GEPIA database, the expression of GYS2 in paired ICC and adjacent non tumor tissues was detected by qPCR. It was found that the expression of GYS2 was significantly down-regulated in ICC. Further analysis showed that its low expression was not only associated with the degree of pathological differentiation, tumor size, microvascular invasion and lymph node metastasis, but also an independent risk factor for unfavorable prognosis. Functional studies have shown that GYS2 overexpression can significantly impair the proliferation, replication, cloning, migration and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cells, while the silencing GYS2 dramatically promotes the development of the aforementioned phenotypes, the underlying mechanism may be that GYS2 activates the P53 pathway. In conclusions,low GYS2 expression in ICC predicted unfavorable patient outcomes; GYS2 overexpression could significantly impair the proliferation, migration and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cells via activating the P53 pathway and GYS2 was expected to become a potential therapeutic target for such patients.
