Knockdown of TFAP2E results in rapid G
Article in Oncology letters, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
TFAP2E is a member of the activator protein-2 transcription factor family and acts as a tumor suppressor in several types of cancer. Downregulation of TFAP2E expression is significantly associated with a shorter overall survival period in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). To evaluate the molecular mechanisms by which TFAP2E suppresses the development or progression of OSCC, the present study investigated the effects of TFAP2E downregulation on OSCC-derived Ca9-22 and HSC-4 cells. The present study demonstrated that small interfering RNA mediated-knockdown of TFAP2E accelerated the proliferation of these OSCC cell lines compared with that in the control group, as determined by the standard water-soluble tetrazolium salt-8 assay. To analyze the cell cycle progression rate, the cell cycle distribution patterns of TFAP2E-knockdown and control cells cultured in the presence of nocodazole, which prevents the completion of mitosis, were analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting at different time points. When analyzing cellular DNA contents, no major differences in cell cycle profiles were observed; however, the rate of increase in cells positive for histone H3 Serine 28 phosphorylation, a standard molecular marker of early M phase, was significantly higher in TFAP2E-knockdown cells than in the control cells. Collectively, these results suggested that TFAP2E may attenuate the proliferation of OSCC cells by regulating G
