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

Introduction: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly malignant biliary tumor with a poor prognosis. As existing therapies for advanced metastatic GBC are rarely effective, there is an urgent need to identify more effective targets for treatment. Methods: Hub genes of GBC were identified by bioinformatics analysis and their expression in GBC was analyzed by tissue validation. The biological role of CEP55 in GBC cell and the underlying mechanism of the anticancer effect of CEP55 knockdown were evaluated via CCK8, colony formation assay, EDU staining, flow cytometry, western blot, immunofluorescence, and an alkaline comet assay. Results: We screened out five hub genes of GBC, namely PLK1, CEP55, FANCI, NEK2 and PTTG1. CEP55 is not only overexpressed in the GBC but also correlated with advanced TNM stage, differentiation grade and poorer survival. After CEP55 knockdown, the proliferation of GBC cells was inhibited with cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase and DNA damage. There was a marked increase in the apoptosis of GBC cells in the siCEP55 group. Besides, in vivo, CEP55 inhibition attenuated the growth and promoted apoptosis of GBC cells. Mechanically, the tumor suppressor effect of CEP55 knockdown is associated with dysregulation of the AKT and ERK signaling networks. Discussion: These data not only demonstrate that CEP55 is identified as a potential independent predictor crucial to the diagnosis and prognosis of gallbladder cancer but also reveal the possibility for CEP55 to be used as a promising target in the treatment of GBC.
