Sevoflurane inhibits cholangiocarcinoma via Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 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
backgroundCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a refractory malignancy derived from bile duct epithelial cells. This study aimed to explore the role and molecular mechanisms of action of sevoflurane in CCA.
methodsCCK-8 assay was used to assess the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cells, and flow cytometry was used to detect cholangiocarcinoma cell apoptosis. The effects of sevoflurane on TFK1 and QBC939 cell migration and invasion were investigated using a Transwell assay. Western blotting and RT-qPCR were used to assess the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and genes, and gene expression of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
resultsOur study found that sevoflurane inhibited cholangiocarcinoma cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, sevoflurane induced cholangiocarcinoma cell apoptosis, inhibited cholangiocarcinoma cell migration and invasion, as well as the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway evidenced by decreased Wnt3a, β-catenin, c-Myc, and Cyclin D1 protein and mRNA expression, reduced p-GSK3β protein expression and p-GSK3β/GSK3β ratio. Further mechanistic studies revealed that Wnt/β-catenin pathway inducer SKL2001 reversed the inhibitory effect of sevoflurane on cholangiocarcinoma cells.
conclusionsSevoflurane induces apoptosis and inhibits the growth, migration, and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cells by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. This study not only revealed the role of sevoflurane in the development of CCA but also elucidated new therapeutic agents for CCA.
