IGF2BP2 promotes head and neck squamous carcinoma cell proliferation and growth via the miR-98-5p/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

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
Introduction: As a N6-methyladenosine reader protein, Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) is a critical player in tumor progression and metastasis. However, its specific function in head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC) has yet to be determined. The present study aimed to determine the role of IGF2BP2 in HNSCC. Methods: The expression of IGF2BP2 in HNSCC was analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset and detected in HNSCC tissues and cells, respectively. Gain- and loss- of function methods were employed to study the effects of IGF2BP2 on HNSCC cell proliferation and tumorigenesis Results: We showed augmented IGF2BP2 expression in HNSCC, which correlated with poor clinical outcomes. Functional studies showed that IGF2BP2 promoted HNSCC cell proliferation by facilitating cell cycle progression while inhibiting apoptosis. We further demonstrated that IGF2BP2 could enhance HNSCC cell tumorigenesis Discussion: The current study revealed the oncogenic role of IGF2BP2 and provided insights into its potential mechanism in HNSCC tumorigenesis. Additionally, IGF2BP2 might represent a promising therapeutic target and serve as prognostic biomarker in patients with HNSCC.
