Identification of Candidate Hub Genes and Drug Targets for Cholangiocarcinoma via Juhua (Chrysanthemum Morifolium) Bioactivity and Molecular Docking: A Bioinformatics Approach.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2024. 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
Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL) is a malignancy with poor clinical outcomes and limited treatment options. While extensive research has investigated genetic and signaling pathways in CHOL, the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis remain incompletely understood. A key hurdle has been the lack of a systematic, multi-omic approach to illuminate causal relationships between genetic variants and CHOL risk. Results: We integrated gene expression, co-expression network, and Mendelian randomization analyses to elucidate molecular drivers of CHOL. Gene set enrichment of differentially expressed genes from CHOL tumor samples identified enrichment in cancer-related biological processes. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis identified modules highly correlated with CHOL, including genes involved in cell cycle regulation, transcription, and proteolysis. Integrating these data with targets of the herbal formula Juhua, which shows anti-CHOL activity, pinpointed four candidate hub genes (CDK5, CDK7, CTSB, MAP2K2). Molecular docking revealed interactions between Juhua constituents and these hub genes. Mendelian randomization analysis of genetic variants implicated CCL2, CD5, CXCL6, CXCL9, HGF, IL10, IL10RA, IL18, IL24, IL2RB, IL6, IL8, SIRT2 and SLAMF1 as causally associated with CHOL. Conclusion: Our multi-omic analysis provides new insight into molecular underpinnings of CHOL and identifies candidate disease drivers, signaling pathways and herbal targets for further validation. This systematic approach established a framework for illuminating causal links between genetics, molecular mechanisms and disease pathogenesis, with potential to accelerate drug and biomarker development for CHOL.
