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

Activation of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) is the central event in liver fibrosis. NS5ATP9 is related to many malignant tumors, but little is known about its function in HSC activation. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of NS5ATP9 in HSC activation in vitro. Genes related to liver fibrosis were detected after NS5ATP9 overexpression or silencing with or without transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 stimulation in the human HSCs by real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis were tested, and the mechanisms underlying the effect of NS5ATP9 on HSC activation were studied. We showed that NS5ATP9 suppressed HSC activation and collagen production, with or without TGF-β1 induction. Also, NS5ATP9 inhibited cell proliferation and migration and promoted apoptosis. Furthermore, NS5ATP9 reduced basal and TGF-β1-mediated Smad3/phosphorylated-Smad3 expression. The existence of a physical complex between NS5ATP9 and Smad3 was illustrated. NS5ATP9 suppresses HSC activation, extracellular matrix production, and promotes apoptosis, in part through reducing Smad3/phosphorylated-Smad3 expression.
