MTCH2 promotes the malignant progression of ovarian cancer through the upregulation of AIMP2 expression levels, mitochondrial dysfunction and by mediating energy metabolism.

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
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a gynecological malignancy that ranks among the most common female cancers worldwide and notably reduces a patient's quality of life. Mitochondrial carrier homology 2 (MTCH2) is a mitochondrial outer membrane protein that serves a regulatory role in mitochondrial metabolism and cell death. The precise contribution and underlying molecular pathways of MTCH2 in the context of OC development is currently unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the roles of MTCH2 in the energy metabolism, cell proliferation and metastatic potential of OC cells and evaluate the regulatory relationship between MTCH2, aminoacyl transfer RNA synthetase-interacting multifunctional protein 2 (AIMP2) and claudin-3. An analysis of 67 patients with high-grade serous OC demonstrated increased expression levels of MTCH2, AIMP2 and claudin-3 in OC tumor tissue samples compared with in corresponding normal tissues adjacent to OC tissue samples. MTCH2 overexpression was significantly associated with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage and tumor differentiation of the OC tumor samples.
