TPX2 as a prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for malignant melanoma proliferation and metastasis.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2026. 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
Malignant melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer with increasing incidence and poor prognosis after metastasis. Identifying key molecular drivers of melanoma progression is critical for developing novel therapeutic strategies. Therefore, in the present study, differential gene expression analysis was conducted on GSE98394 and The Cancer Genome Atlas-skin cutaneous melanoma datasets using 'limma' package and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2. Consistently dysregulated genes were intersected and subjected to Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses. Functional assays, including reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blotting, MTT proliferation assay, wound healing, Transwell migration and small interfering (si)RNA-mediated targeting protein for Xklp2 (TPX2) knockdown assays, were performed in A375 and C32 melanoma cells and PIG1 melanocytes. Intersection of the two datasets revealed eight upregulated and five downregulated genes, and high TPX2 expression was significantly associated with short overall survival. TPX2 mRNA and protein levels were markedly higher in A375 cells than in PIG1 controls.
