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

RNA polymerase II-associated protein 2 (RPAP2) plays a critical role in transcriptional regulation. However, little is known about whether and how RPAP2 regulates hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell growth, and how the RPAP2 stability is precisely maintained. Here it is reported that high RPAP2 levels in HCC tissues correlate with poor patient survival. RPAP2 depletion suppresses the growth and survival of HCC cells. F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7) targets RPAP2 for polyubiquitylation and degradation after RPAP2 being pre-phosphorylated at Ser562 and Thr565 by p38 and GSK3, respectively. HSP90 inhibition significantly promotes RPAP2 degradation by CRL5
