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

The enhanced ability of cancer cell migration and metastasis is the major cause for the cancer-related death of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Better understanding the mechanisms for the motility of cancer cells will benefit the treatment. Diaphanous-related formin 3 (DIAPH3) has been reported to regulate the motility of cells by remodeling the cytoskeleton. However, the mechanism through which DIAPH3 regulated the motility of cancer cells remains largely unknown. In this study, we have shown that the expression of DIAPH3 was up-regulated in HCC. DIAPH3 positively regulated the growth, migration, colony formation, epithelia mesenchymal transition, and metastasis of HCC cells. Mechanically, DIAPH3 activated the beta-catenin/TCF signaling by binding HSP90 and disrupting the interaction between GSK3beta and HSP90. Taken together, our study demonstrated the oncogenic activity of DIAPH3 in the progression of HCC and suggested that PDIAPH3 might be a therapeutic target.
