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

Cell division cycle 25B (CDC25B), a member of the CDC25 phosphatase family, plays a key role in cell cycle regulation. Studies have suggested its carcinogenic potential in various cancers, but the role of CDC25B in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to clarify the role of CDC25B in HCC using bioinformatics and experiments. CDC25B expression data of HCC cancer tissues and paracancerous normal samples were obtained from The Cancer Gene Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, and the relationship between CDC25B expression and the prognosis and degree of tumor differentiation of HCC patients was analyzed. CDC25B expression was verified in clinical HCC tissue samples using fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) and protein immunoblotting (Western blot). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to identify signaling pathways enriched in CDC25B expression, and differential genes (DEGs) were used to screen out coexpressed hub genes and construct protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU) staining was used to compare the proliferation and differentiation ability of the HCC cell line (HCC-LM3) after knockdown of CDC25B. Finally, we investigated the mutation of CDC25B in HCC and the relationship between CDC25B expression and tumor cell infiltration of lymphocytes and some immune checkpoints as well as drug sensitivity. CDC25B was overexpressed in HCC tissues and correlated with poor prognosis and the degree of tumor differentiation in patients with HCC. The GSEA and PPI networks together revealed significantly upregulated signaling pathways, as well as functions, associated with the development of HCC when CDC25B was overexpressed. The EDU assay demonstrated that the ability of cells to differentiate value addedly was markedly reduced following the downregulation of CDC25B expression in HCC-LM3s. CDC25B was also involved in the formation of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and immune processes in HCC, and the high expression of CDC25B made patients less sensitive to some drugs. CDC25B can be used as a biomarker and immunotherapeutic target for poor prognosis and partial drug sensitivity in HCC, providing new ideas for HCC treatment.
