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

purposeThe early diagnosis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has the potential to lead to significant improvements for the treatment and survival rates of cancer patients. 2-Deoxy-2-[ PROCEDURES: Human SMMC-7721 HCC cells were treated with metformin (up to 10 mM) or FoxO1 siRNA. The transcriptional and expression levels of FoxO1 and G6Pase were determined by quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The feasibility of using metformin to promote [

resultsTreatment of HCC cells with metformin (Met) leads to a dose-dependent reduction in the expression levels of FoxO1 at the protein level, but not at the mRNA level. Met-induced phosphorylation of FoxO1 initiates a reduction in the expression levels of G6Pase mRNA, which results in an overall increase in the uptake of [

conclusionsWe propose that treatment of HCC cells with Met may be a useful strategy for improving the efficacy of [
