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 an extremely aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis and high fatality rates worldwide. Accumulating evidence indicated that novel biomarkers are required to get a better understanding of the biological mechanisms of HCC. SRA1, a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), serves as a critical regulator in several cancers. However, the association between SRA1 expression and tumorigenesis in HCC tissues remains unclear.

objectiveIn the present study, we evaluated the expression of SRA1 in HCC and its clinical association.

methodsThe expression levels of SRA1 in 67 pairs of cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues from HCC patients were detected using quantitative real-time PCR. Expression of SRA1 in HCC cell lines compared with normal human hepatocyte cell lines was also measured. Finally, the potential associations between its level in HCC tissues and the clinicopathological parameters were analyzed as well.

resultsThe results indicated that the expression levels of SRA1 in HCC were remarkably decreased, compared with matched normal tissues (P< 0.001). Levels of SRA1 in HCC cell lines were also significantly decreased than that in normal human hepatocyte cell line L-02. Additionally, the levels of SRA1 were significantly associated with tumor size (P= 0.020) and serum GLU level (P= 0.046).

conclusionsThis study highlighted that SRA1 was downregulated in HCC and might serve as a tumor suppressor in HCC, which laid a solid foundation for future research.
