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

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common malignant tumor of the biliary tract and is often prone to early distant metastasis. However, the mechanisms underlying GBC's invasive metastasis remain unclear. This study identified that F-box only protein 33 (FBXO33) expression is significantly elevated in GBC and is negatively associated with patient prognosis. In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that knockdown of FBXO33 inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression in GBC, while overexpression of FBXO33 promotes EMT progression. Mechanistically, FBXO33 regulates EMT progression by modulating the polyubiquitination of p53 at K291 and K292. Moreover, the upregulation of FBXO33 in GBC is driven by transcriptional regulation mediated by Yin Yang-1 (YY1). The lactylation modification of YY1 at K183 was found to be essential for the transcriptional activation of FBXO33. These findings underscore the role of the lactylation-driven FBXO33-p53 axis in promoting the invasive metastasis of GBC.
