Meox1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression potentially via regulation of cell cycle and p21 expression.

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
Meox1 is aberrantly expressed in several malignancies, but its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Meox1 on HCC cells and explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. Cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle distribution were assessed by CCK-8, clonogenic, Transwell, and flow cytometry assays, respectively. Protein expression was examined by Western blotting. Meox1 silencing significantly inhibited proliferation, clonogenic capacity, migration and invasion of HCC cells. Cell cycle analysis showed a reduction in G1-phase cells with a marked accumulation in the G2 phase following Meox1 knockdown. Western blot analysis revealed that suppression of Meox1 reduced p21CIP1/WAF1 expression. Meox1 contributest to HCC progression and may represent a potential therapeutic target.
