High level of serum Cripto-1 in hepatocellular carcinoma, especially with hepatitis B virus infection.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
backgroundHuman Cripto-1 (CR-1), a member of the epidermal growth factor-Cripto-1/FRL-1/Cryptic protein family (EGF-CFC), is highly expressed in a variety of human cancers. We aimed to detect serum CR-1 level in liver diseases especially in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.
methodsSerum CR-1 level was Sandwich-type enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) detected in 330 patients with liver diseases including HCC, cirrhosis, and chronic hepatitis and 50 volunteers without hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection as control.
resultsThe serum CR-1 level was significantly higher in HCC patients than volunteer controls and it was also significantly higher in HBV-related HCC than HCV-related HCC. In addition, serum CR-1 level was correlated with serum alpha-feto-protein (AFP) in HBV-related HCC patients. The serum CR-1 was also higher in cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis than volunteer controls. The serum CR-1 in HBV-related cirrhosis was higher than chronic hepatitis B, but there was no significant difference between HCV-related cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis C.
conclusionsSerum CR-1 was higher in HCC patients and might serve as a complementary biomarker to clinical diagnosis of HBV-related HCC. The high level of serum CR-1 in HBV-related liver disease might be partly attributed to HBV infection.
