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

backgroundSmall ubiquitin-like modifier specific peptidase 2 (SENP2) suppresses the progression and chemoresistance of several cancers, while few studies report its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of SENP2 on stemness, sorafenib sensitivity, and downstream pathway in HCC, with validation of its molecular mechanisms by compensation experiment.

methodsSENP2 was regulated by plasmid transfection; meanwhile, in a compensation experiment, protein kinase B (AKT) was activated by SC79 treatment and β-catenin (CTNNB1) was overexpressed by plasmid transfection. After modification, sorafenib sensitivity was detected by cell counting kit-8 assay; stemness was evaluated by CD133

resultsSENP2 was decreased in HCC cell lines (including Hep3B, Li7, and Huh7) compared with normal human liver epithelial cell lines, which was further reduced in HCC stem cells than in normal HCC cells. Subsequently, SENP2 overexpression inhibited CD133

conclusionSENP2 suppresses HCC stemness and increases sorafenib sensitivity through inactivating the AKT/GSK3β/CTNNB1 signaling pathway.
