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
backgroundConventional treatments for bladder cancer exhibit various limitations. Therefore, natural products, such as jujuboside A (JuA), have been explored for their multi-target effects and low toxicity. However, the specific effects of JuA in bladder cancer remain unclear.
objectiveTo determine whether JuA affects mitochondrial energy metabolism and apoptosis in bladder cancer cells by regulating the ATPase Na+/K+ transporting subunit alpha 2 (ATP1A2) expression.
methodsDifferentially expressed genes (DEGs) in bladder cancer were analyzed using the GSE133624 dataset. ATP1A2 overexpression and knockdown bladder cancer cell models were constructed. Cell phenotypes and markers related to apoptosis and mitochondrial energy metabolism were assessed. Moreover, targeting effects of JuA were investigated.
resultsInterleukin (IL)-6, ATP1A2, and hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 1 were identified as potential JuA targets, with ATP1A2 being the main target. ATP1A2 overexpression enhanced the viability and inhibited the apoptosis of bladder cancer cells and promoted mitochondrial energy metabolism in vitro, whereas ATP1A2 knockdown had the opposite effects. JuA decreased cell viability, inhibited ATP1A2 expression, and disrupted mitochondrial energy metabolism. These anticancer effects of JuA were reversed by ATP1A2 overexpression.
conclusionThis study elucidated the molecular mechanism by which JuA regulates mitochondrial energy metabolism and induces apoptosis in bladder cancer cells through targeted inhibition of ATP1A2. These findings reveal the crucial role of ATP1A2 in the energy metabolism and survival of bladder cancer cells, providing a new molecular perspective for a deeper understanding of the pathological mechanisms of bladder cancer.
