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 third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It is indispensable to understanding molecular mechanisms of HCC progression and to developing clinically useful biomarkers for this disease.

aimIn this article, we examined whether HOXC8 was associated with the poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma and explored the possible underlying mechanism.

methodsThe HOXC8 and Ki67 expression levels in 86 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were examined using immunohistochemistry. HOXC8 levels in HCC cells were downregulated by siRNA transfection. The cycle progression and cell proliferation status of HCC cells and the oxaliplatin effectiveness were evaluated by flow cytometry and CCK-8 assay. HOXC8, CyclinD1, PCNA, Nkd2, and cleaved caspase-3 levels were detected by western blot.

resultsHOXC8 was upregulated in HCC tissues, compared with adjacent non-tumor ones. HOXC8 expression levels in 86 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were positively correlated with histological grade. Univariate and multivariate survival analysis revealed that HOXC8 was a significant predictor for overall survival of HCC patients. HOXC8 siRNA knockdown delayed the G1-S phase transition, inhibited cell proliferation, and attenuated resistance to oxaliplatin.

conclusionsHOXC8 promoted HCC proliferation and predicted poor prognosis. Furthermore, upregulated HOXC8 expression was associated with oxaliplatin resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma.
