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 one of the most common cancers types. Niu-Huang-Shen (NHS), a Chinese medicine, has been reported to exert antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and vasodilatation effects. However, whether NHS has inhibitory effects on HCC cell phenotypes has remained elusive. In the present study, Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, fluorescence-activated cell sorting and Transwell assays were used to evaluate the effect of NHS on cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The results indicated that NHS suppressed cell proliferation and invasion, inhibited cell apoptosis, and induced cell cycle arrest. In addition, NHS significantly suppressed the mRNA and protein expression of Yes-associated protein (YAP). It was concluded that NHS downregulated YAP expression and inhibited the Hippo signaling pathway as well as HCC cell growth and invasion. NHS may be a novel potential therapeutic for HCC patients.
