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

HCC is the leading type of the malignant liver tumors with the unsatisfied prognosis. Liver resection has been considered as the predominant curative therapy, however, the post-surgical prognostic evaluation remains an urgent problem and the mechanism of HCC metastases has not been understood completely. EDG2 has been found to accelerate tumor progression through mediating different cell pathways, however, it remains unclear about the role of EDG2 on hepatocarcinogenesis. Here, EDG2 expression was found increased notably in HCC tissues by immunohistochemistry compared with adjacent liver tissues and comparison of survival curves revealed that EDG2 upregulation in HCC tissues was associated with the worse prognosis after liver resection. The positive correlation between EDG2 up-regulation and EMT was observed in HCC samples. Furthermore, EDG2 over-expression in HCC cells brought the typical EMT characteristics including up-regulation of Vimentin, Fibronectin and N-cadherin, suppression of E-cadherin, and enhanced cell migration and invasion capacities. Knockdown of EDG2 reversed the EMT phenotype in HCC cells. The
