GPC2 deficiency inhibits cell growth and metastasis in colon adenocarcinoma.
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Glypican-2 (GPC2) has been reported to promote tumor progression through metabolic pathways. However, the role of GPC2 in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) remains to be further investigated. This study was designed to evaluate the role of GPC2 in COAD. Based on patients with complete clinical information and GPC2 expression from the Cancer Genome Atlas-COAD database, we found that GPC2 mRNA was highly expressed in COAD tissues, which was associated with poor prognosis and tumornode-metastasis (TNM) stage. The predicted survival probability based on GPC2 mRNA expression and TNM stage was in good agreement with the observed survival probability. Furthermore, the genes coexpressed with GPC2 in COAD tissues were significantly enriched in basal cell carcinoma, Notch signaling pathway, and Hedgehog signaling pathway. After GPC2 was decreased through transfecting short hairpin RNA of GPC2 into HCT-8 and SW620 cells, cell cycle was arrested in G0/G1 phase, proliferation was decreased, apoptosis was increased, and migration and invasion were repressed. In conclusion, decreasing GPC2 significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion, and enhanced apoptosis, which implied that GPC2 can be considered a promising therapeutic target of COAD in the future.
