Comprehensive prognostic and immunological analysis of Cullin2 in pan-cancer and its identification in hepatocellular carcinoma.

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
backgroundAs a member of the Cullin family, Cullin2 (CUL2) is involved in the development and spread of different types of cancers. However, the precise role of CUL2 in human cancer remains largely elusive.
methodsIn this study, various databases were applied to observe the CUL2 expression. Kaplan-Meier and Spearman correlation analyses were employed to investigate the potential links between CUL2 level, patient prognosis, and the infiltration of immune cells. In addition, the association between CUL2 and the efficacy of immunotherapy in an immunotherapy cohort was investigated. Moreover, the expression and distribution of CUL2 in cells were observed using the Human Protein Atlas (THPA) database. Finally, clinical tissue specimens and
resultsWhile there are variations in CUL2 expression across different organs and cell types, it is notably upregulated in a majority of tumor tissues. In addition, CUL2 gene mutations are common in multiple cancers with low mutation rates and CUL2 is closely related to the prognosis of some cancer's patients, some immune regulatory factors, TMB, MSI, MMR genes, and DNA methylation. Further, our results found that downregulating CUL2 inhibits the proliferation, and migration abilities.
conclusionsThe expression of CUL2 has an impact on the prognosis of various tumors, and this correlation is particularly noteworthy due to its significant association with the infiltration of immune cells within tumors. CUL2 was an oncogene contributing to the progression of HCC.
