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 is one of the most fatal malignancies worldwide with high lethality. However, the exact mechanism of liver tumorigenesis is still unclear. AnnexinA7 (ANXA7) is a Ca2+-binding protein which is involved in membrane organization and dynamics and indicated a role of ANXA7 in cancer. However, the action of ANXA7 in hepatocellular carcinoma and the relative mechanism is still indistinct.

objectiveTo gain more insight into the biological function of ANXA7 and assess its possible influence on proliferation and metastasis capacity of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells with the relative mechanism.

methodsANXA7 was down-regulated by RNA interference in both HepG2 and smmc-7721 cells. The decreased cell proliferation was detected by MTT method and colony formation assay. To confirm the result of cell proliferation, Ki-67 and cyclinD1 expression was examined by Western Blot. The increased apoptosis capacity of the cells was detected with cell cytometry and PI staining respectively. Bcl-2 and Bax expression was further investigated by Western blot and the decreased ration of Bcl-2/Bax might explain the increased apoptosis.

resultsCell metastasis showed significantly limited ability which was tested by wound healing assay and Transwell assay. Meanwhile, the key biomarkers of cell metastasis E-cadherin expression increased while MMP-9 decreased. Furthermore, we found that ANXA7 played its role via MAPK/ERK pathway.

conclusionsANXA7 might involve in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma and act as an oncogene which might be a potential therapeutic target for treatment.
