KNTC1 and MCM2 are the molecular targets of gallbladder cancer.
Article in Aging, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundGallbladder carcinoma is a malignant epithelial tumor of gallbladder with a high degree of malignancy. However, relationship between KNTC1 and MCM2 and gallbladder cancer is unclear.
methodsGSE139682 and GSE202479 were downloaded from gene expression omnibus (GEO). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened. Functional enrichment analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were performed. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) Network was constructed and analyzed. Gene expression heat map was drawn. Comparative toxicogenomics database (CTD) analysis was performed to find diseases most related to core genes. TargetScan was performed for screening miRNAs that regulated central DEGs.
results230 DEGs were identified. According to GObp analysis, they were mainly concentrated in regulation of ossification, regulation of spindle microtubule and centromere attachment, cytoskeleton tissue of cortical actin. According to GOcc analysis, they are mainly concentrated in plasma membrane part, cell junction, plasma membrane region and anterior membrane. According to GOmf analysis, they are mainly enriched in protein homodimerization activity, proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding and sulfur compound binding. KEGG showed that target genes were mainly enriched in Hippo signal pathway, p53 signal pathway and cancer pathway. KIFC2, TUBG1, RACGAP1, CHMP4C, SFN and MYH11 were identified as core genes. Gene expression heat map showed that KNTC1, MCM2, CKAP2, RACGAP1, CCNB1 were highly expressed in gallbladder carcinoma samples. CTD analysis showed that KNTC1, MCM2, CKAP2, RACGAP1, CCNB1 were associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, necrosis, inflammation and hepatomegaly.
conclusionsKNTC1 and MCM2 are highly expressed in gallbladder cancer. Higher expression level correlates with worse prognosis.
