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

backgroundRecent studies have demonstrated that transducin (beta)-like 1 X-linked receptor 1 (TBLR1) is involved in tumor progression. However, the exact role and clinical significance of TBLR1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are poorly understood.

aimIn this study, we aimed to investigate the expression and clinical significance of TBLR1 in HCC.

methodsQuantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining were performed to detect the expression levels of TBLR1 in HCC tissue and adjacent noncancerous tissue (ANT). The relationships between TBLR1 expression and clinicopathological factors were examined in this study. The effects of TBLR1 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of HCC cells were investigated in vitro.

resultsThe expression levels of TBLR1 were elevated in HCC cell lines. TBLR1 mRNA in HCC tissue was markedly higher (P < 0.001) than that in ANT. High expression of TBLR1 is closely related to serum alpha fetoprotein (P = 0.047), BCLC stage (P < 0.001), maximum size of tumors (P < 0.001), tumor embolus (P < 0.001), and histological grade (P < 0.001). The disease-free survival and overall survival of HCC patients with high expression of TBLR1 were significantly shorter. Furthermore, we found that EMT of HCC cells could be induced by up-regulating TBLR1 and be inhibited by down-regulating TBLR1. ICG-001, the inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, could suppress induction of EMT mediated by TBLR1.

conclusionsOur finding suggested that TBLR1 is likely to be a potential prognostic indicator and therapeutic target for HCC and that TBLR1 may be implicated in EMT of HCC cells.
