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) can be the last step of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) evolution, and the main characteristic of NAFLD is alteration in lipid metabolism. However, the mechanisms of abnormal lipid metabolism in NAFLD and HCC progression are yet to be identified. Here, we demonstrate that liver-specific activation of mTORC1 promoted the expression of lipid synthesis genes and lead to the development of spontaneous HCC. Genetic mouse models developed spontaneous HCC along with increased expressions of SREBP1, ACC1 and FASN. In addition, high levels of p-STAT5 were observed in the livers and particularly evident in the tumor area. And the synthesis of p-STAT5 was increased in patients along with the increase in SREBP1 synthesis in clinical samples. Moreover, mTORC1 interacts with and phosphorylates the STAT5 in hepatocytes. In conclusion, our data suggested that mTORC1 upregulates SREBP1 transcription via crosstalk with the STAT5 pathway which contributes to the NAFLD-related HCC pathogenesis. And the inhibitor of SREBP1 and mTOR may help to prevent HCC in clinical NAFLD patients.
