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

ZBP-89 inhibits the some tumor cells but its role in HCC is unknown. We investigated effect of ZBP-89 on cell death of 5 HCC cell lines with different status of p53. We found that ZBP-89 significantly induced cell death of all HCC cells particularly those with wild-type p53. The inhibition was well correlated with the induction of caspase-6 activity. The inhibition of caspase-6 abolished the effect of ZBP-89. ZBP-89 reduced the cells in G2-M but increased them in S phase. With the changes in caspase-6 and cell cycle, ZBP-89 greatly enhanced the killing effectiveness of 5-fluorouracil or staurosporine in HCC cells.
