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

backgroundIncreased expression of collagen XV has been reported in hepatocellular carcinogenesis in mice. The aim of this study was to confirm the previous murine findings in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens, along with the histopathological distribution of collagen XV in tumoral tissues.

methodsSixty-three primary HCC specimens were examined. Immunostaining of collagen XV and quantitative reverse transcriptional PCR of COL15A1, which encodes collagen XV, were performed.

resultsPositive staining of collagen XV was observed in all tumoral regions, regardless of differentiation level or pathological type of HCC, along the sinusoid-like endothelium, whereas collagen XV was not expressed in any non-tumoral region. The intensity score of collagen XV immunostaining and the mRNA value of COL15A1 were significantly correlated. COL15A1 expression in tumors was 3.24-fold higher than in non-tumoral regions. Multivariate analysis showed that COL15A1 expression was significantly higher in the absence of hepatitis virus and moderately differentiated HCC.

conclusionsCOL15A1 mRNA was up-regulated in HCC and collagen XV was expressed along the sinusoid-like endothelium of HCC but not in non-tumoral regions, which implies that collagen XV contributes to the capillarization of HCC.
