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
Thyroid cancer stands out as the most prevalent endocrine cancer, with its incidence on a global rise. While numerous studies have delved into the roles of GSG2 in the progression of various malignancies, its involvement in thyroid cancer remains relatively unexplored. Therefore, this study was initiated to assess the functional importance of GSG2 in human thyroid cancer development. Our findings revealed a notable upregulation of GSG2 in both thyroid cancer tissues and cell lines, demonstrating a significant correlation with the pathological stage and patients' prognosis. Depletion of GSG2 in thyroid cancer cells resulted in suppressed malignant cell development and inhibited tumor outgrowth. Crucially, our investigation identified AURKB as a downstream gene of GSG2. GSG2 exhibited its regulatory role by stabilizing AURKB, countering SMURF1-mediated ubiquitination of AURKB. Furthermore, overexpressing AURKB restored the functional consequences of GSG2 depletion in thyroid cancer cells. Additionally, we proposed the involvement of the AKT pathway in GSG2-mediated regulation of thyroid cancer. Intriguingly, the reversal of cell phenotype alterations in GSG2-depleted cells following an AKT activator underscored the potential link between GSG2 and the AKT pathway. At the molecular level, GSG2 knockdown downregulated p-AKT, an effect partially restored after AKT activator treatment. In summary, our study concluded that GSG2 played a pivotal role in thyroid carcinogenesis, underscoring its potential as a therapeutic target for thyroid cancer.
