Investigating the molecular mechanisms, drug prediction, and validation of CCNA2 and MAD2L1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma based on bioinformatics.
Article in BMC medical genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveAims to comprehensively investigate the expression patterns of CCNA2 and MAD2L1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma using bioinformatics methods.
methodsBased on WGCNA analysis of gene mutation expression, methylation level distribution, mRNA expression and ESCC-related genes in public databases, were employed for investigating potential biomarkers for prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).Finally,. performing qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry to validate.
resultsUltimately identified 4 hub genes: CDK1, CCNA2,TOP2A and MAD2L1. Bioinformatics analysis showed high expression of these four genes in ESCC (P < 0.05). CCNA2 and MAD2L1 were selected for subsequent analysis based on literature.3.Single gene enrichment analysis revealed significant enrichment of CCNA2 and MAD2L1 in pathways related to splicing, bladder cancer, non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination, glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis chondroitin sulfate, progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation and mismatch repair. PASTAA database indicated the involvement of transcription factors such as Roralpha1, Pou6f1, Roralpha2, Atf-1, Pax-3, C/ebpalpha, Nkx2-1 in the regulation of CCNA2, while no transcription factors were predicted for MAD2L1..Immune infiltration analysis revealed a close association between ESCC and plasma cells, CD8 + T cells, monocytes, M0 macrophages, M1 macrophages, dendritic cells, and resting mast cells.Drug prediction for CCNA2 included 7 drugs such as ETHINYL ESTRADIOL, Seliciclib and TAMOXIFEN, while no drugs were predicted for MAD2L1.qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry demonstrated high expression of CCNA2 in ESCC, while MAD2L1 showed no significant difference between ESCC and normal esophageal squamous epithelial tissues.
conclusionCCNA2 and MAD2L1 may be potential biomarkers for ESCC, providing a novel basis for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying ESCC pathogenesis.Additionally, the potential drugs predicted for CCNA2 may emerge as a new hope for ESCC patients in the future.
