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

It is well documented that A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of tumors. In the present study, we evaluated the synergistic effect of APRIL knockdown and Jiedu Xiaozheng Yin (JXY), a Traditional Chinese Medicinal recipe, on the inhibition of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell proliferation and elucidated the underlying mechanism. The results demonstrated that both APRIL knockdown using small interfering RNA (siRNA) and JXY treatment could trigger cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis, and suppress HCC cell proliferation through an NF-κB-related pathway. Synergism was further demonstrated between APRIL knockdown and JXY treatment. In conclusion, these results indicate that APRIL is a target gene for HCC and combination of siRNA-APRIL and JXY application holds great promise as a novel approach for the treatment of APRIL-positive HCC.
