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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common malignancy in the world, especially in China. Early diagnosis of new and recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma, followed by timely treatment, will help decrease mortality. Currently biomarkers are not satisfactory. Better diagnostic methods are highly demanded.

methodsIn this study, we have used in silico identification and RT-PCR test and discovered a hepatoma associated gene (HTA). Knockdown of endogenous HTA expression was performed by small interfering RNA in malignant hepatocyte HepG2. Then we tested the cell proliferative ability of these cells in vitro and in vivo.

resultsHTA was expressed specifically in some kinds of tumors, but not detected in any normal tissues. It was expressed especially high in hepatocellular carcinoma. Knockdown of endogenous HTA expression in HepG2 by small interfering RNA attenuated HCC cell growth.

conclusionsHCA is a very good marker for tumors, especially for HCC. It could play important roles in HCC development and progression and can be a promising molecular target for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for HCC.
