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

Diabetes associated metabolic syndrome has been shown to be an independent risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Cirrhosis, in fact, was not always a prerequisite of HCC development and this might particularly apply to the metabolic abnormality associated HCC. This study was to investigate diabetes associated HCC and the potential role of FGF21 during carcinogenetic transformation of HCC. Dimethylnitrosamine (DEN) was used to induce HCC in the diabetic OVE26 mice. Pronounced damage characterized by steatohepatitis was found in the liver of diabetic mice. Steatohepatitis accompanied by constant cell proliferation and tumor cell growth were also found in the hepatic tissues of diabetic OVE26 mice when DEN being administrated. FGF21 protein level increased in liver tissues at an early stage along with steatohepatitis in diabetic OVE26 mice, but decreased in liver tissues later when HCC was developed. In addition, decreased FGF21 protein level was associated with cancerous hyper-proliferation and aberrant p53 and TGF-β/Smad signaling during HCC development. Loss of FGF21 may play an important role in HCC carcinogenetic transformation during metabolic liver injury in diabetic animals. The present finding calls attention to the need to control metabolic disorders associated with diabetes and may further develop a protective strategy against HCC.
