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

ALKBH5 plays critical roles in various cellular processes via post-transcriptional regulation of oncogenes or tumor suppressors in an N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-dependent manner. However, its function in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains unclear. In the present study, bioinformatic analyses of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data were performed, and the association of ALKBH5 in predicting overall survival in patients with ICC was investigated. Then, the clinical data of patients from The Affiliated Changzhou No. 2 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Changzhou, China) was used to reveal the overall survival of patients with ICC with different ALKBH5 expression levels by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Subsequently, in vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to explore and verify the downstream genes regulated by ALKBH5. The results from TCGA data demonstrated that ALKBH5 expression is elevated in ICC and that patients with high ALKBH5 expression exhibited poor survival compared with patients with low expression. In addition, in vitro assays demonstrated that ALKBH5 promoted cell viability and maintained the stemness of ICC cells, leading to ICC progression. The present study also demonstrated that BUB1 mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase B (BUB1B) is the downstream gene regulated by ALKBH5 and targeting BUB1B suppressed cell growth. The in vitro and vivo experiments revealed that ALKBH5 might function through BUB1B to maintain the stemness of ICC and that altering BUB1B may suppress ICC progression.
