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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive form of liver cancer with particularly poor survival rates for patients. Targeted molecular therapies are lacking, and current treatment is generally limited to surgical resection or liver transplantation. Overexpression and aberrant signaling of the ErbB family of receptors has been implicated in HCC, but the mechanisms underlying ErbB overexpression are unclear. In this study, we investigated the potential role of neuregulin receptor degradation protein-1 (Nrdp1), a regulator of ErbB3 protein stability, in HCC progression.

methodsWe compared the expression of Nrdp1 in various HCC cell lines and in 8 pairs of tumor and peritumor tissue samples using Western blot analysis. Changes in the degree of proliferation were determined before and after small interfering RNA (siRNA)-induced knockdown of Nrdp1 using a cell counting Kit-8 (ccK-8) assay and cell-cycle analysis. The correlation between Nrdp1 expression and prognosis was determined in specimens of 89 HCC patients.

resultsNrdp1 expression is significantly reduced in HCC tissues compared with adjacent healthy tissues. Higher Nrdp1 expression corresponds to lower maximal tumor size (

conclusionsOur findings suggest an inhibitory role for Nrdp1 in HCC tumorigenesis, and we propose that Nrdp1 may serve as a prognostic biomarker for HCC and as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of HCC.
