PSMG2 role in tumorigenesis and stemness mediated by protein accumulation, reticulum stress and autophagy.
Article in International journal of biological sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The analysis of the dedifferentiation process has suggested that differentiated tumor cells undergo transformation toward cancer stem cells, accompanied by an increase in resistance to current chemotherapeutic treatments. Head and neck cancer (HNSCC) is a tumor with a high incidence and bad prognosis, and it is necessary to identify genes with alterations that can be explored therapeutically. PSMG2 is a chaperone protein that forms a heterodimer with PSMG1 and promotes the assembly of the 20S proteasome. Here, we characterized the effect of PSMG2 downregulation on tumorigenesis and the dedifferentiation process in head and neck cancer cell lines. We observed that high PSMG2 levels are associated with poor prognosis and survival in patients with HNSCC. Knockdown of PSMG2 reduced proliferation
