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

backgroundMAPK8IP2 is one of the JNK-interacting proteins (JIPs) family members, and is involved in the regulation of the JNK and P38 MAPK signaling pathways. MAPK8IP2 has been reported to be closely associated with several cancers. However, the biological function of MAPK8IP2 in prostate cancer (PCa) remains unclear.

methodsMAPK8IP2 expression in PCa and subgroups of PCa was analyzed by public databases. The prognostic role of MAPK8IP2 in prostate cancer was analyzed using the Cox regression method. The potential mechanism by which MAPK8IP2 affects PCa progression was investigated by utilizing public data, including genetic alteration, DNA methylation, m6A methylation, and immune infiltration data. We further performed in vitro assays to validate the effect of MAPK8IP2 on PCa cell proliferation, migration and invasion.

resultsMAPK8IP2 is highly expressed in PCa tissues. Overexpression of MAPK8IP2 is associated with adverse clinicopathological factors and a poor prognosis in PCa. Receiver operating curve analysis showed that MAPK8IP2 can distinguish PCa tissues from non-PCa tissues with a certain accuracy (AUC = 0.814). The MAPK8IP2 genetic alteration rate was 2.6% and MAPK8IP2 alterations correlated with a poor prognosis. We also found that CDK12 and TP53 mutations were associated with MAPK8IP2 expression. The DNA methylation level of MAPK8IP2 was higher in primary tumors than in normal tissues, and the high MAPK8IP2 DNA methylation group of PCa patients had poor survival. Enrichment analysis indicated that MAPK8IP2 was involved in the MAPK signaling pathway. In vitro, knockdown of MAPK8IP2 inhibited PCa cell proliferation, migration and invasion.

conclusionMAPK8IP2 is a potential target for PCa treatment and can serve as a novel biomarker for PCa diagnosis and prognosis evaluation.
