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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Currently, only chemoembolization and sorafenib have shown survival benefits for advanced HCC. There are major unmet needs in HCC management and the discovery of new therapeutic targets. Here we identified NCAPG (non-SMC condensin I complex, subunit G) as a novel mitotic gene required for HCC cell proliferation and migration through siRNA knockdown of a panel of novel overexpressed genes in HCC based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. We found that knockdown of NCAPG induces HCC cell mitosis and inhibits cell growth, proliferation, and migration in vitro. Tetracycline-inducible shRNA knockdown of NCAPG inhibits tumor growth of HCC cells in vivo. Moreover, overexpression of NCAPG in clinical HCC samples was associated with recurrence and survival of patients. The overexpression of NCAPG was significantly correlated with the overexpression of CCNB1 (G2/mitotic-specific cyclin B1), a regulatory protein involved in mitosis. Therefore, NCAPG may provide a promising novel therapeutic target for the treatment of advanced HCC in the future.
