Nardilysin promotes hepatocellular carcinoma through activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3.
Article in Cancer science, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Nardilysin (NRDC) is a metalloendopeptidase of the M16 family. We previously showed that NRDC activates inflammatory cytokine signaling, including interleukin-6-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling. NRDC has been implicated in the promotion of breast, gastric and esophageal cancer, as well as the development of liver fibrosis. In this study, we investigated the role of NRDC in the promotion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), both clinically and experimentally. We found that NRDC expression was upregulated threefold in HCC tissue compared to the adjacent non-tumor liver tissue, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. We also found that high serum NRDC was associated with large tumor size (>3 cm, P = 0.016) and poor prognosis after hepatectomy (median survival time 32.0 vs 73.9 months, P = 0.003) in patients with hepatitis C (n = 120). Diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocarcinogenesis was suppressed in heterozygous NRDC-deficient mice compared to their wild-type littermates. Gene silencing of NRDC with miRNA diminished the growth of Huh-7 and Hep3B spheroids in vitro. Notably, phosphorylation of STAT3 was decreased in NRDC-depleted Huh-7 spheroids compared to control spheroids. The effect of a STAT3 inhibitor (S3I-201) on the growth of Huh-7 spheroids was reduced in NRDC-depleted cells relative to controls. Our results show that NRDC is a promising prognostic marker for HCC in patients with hepatitis C, and that NRDC promotes tumor growth through activation of STAT3.
