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

Protein kinase Cs (PKCs) play important roles in signal transduction, cell regulation, and tumor formation. In the present study, we analyzed the expression of PKCs in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and explored their roles in the development of HCC. Real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry showed that PKCbeta and PKCtheta were down-regulated in HCC tissues. Reduced expression of PKCtheta is well correlated with the grade of cancer cells (p = 0.009), and the down-regulated expression of PKCbetaII is associated with HBV infection (p = 0.035). Our findings suggest particular roles of the two PKC isoenzymes in the hepatocarcinogenesis of human HCC.
