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

Several studies have suggested that coatomer protein complex subunit beta 2 (COPB2) may act as an oncogene in various cancer types. However, no systematic pan-cancer analysis has been performed to date. Therefore, the present study analyzed the potential oncogenic role of COPB2 using TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) and GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) datasets. The majority of the cancer types overexpressed the COPB2 protein, and its expression significantly correlated with tumor prognosis. In certain tumors, such as those found in breast and ovarian tissues, phosphorylated S859 exhibited high expression. It was found that mutations of the COPB2 protein in kidney and endometrial cancers exhibited a significant impact on patient prognosis. It is interesting to note that COPB2 expression correlated with the number of cancer-associated fibroblasts in certain tumors, such as cervical and endocervical cancers and colon adenocarcinomas. In addition, COPB2 was involved in the transport of substances and correlated with chemotherapy sensitivity. This is considered the first pan-tumor study, which provided a relatively comprehensive understanding of the mechanism by which COPB2 promotes cancer growth.
