Novel compound cedrelone inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma progression via PBLD and Ras/Rap1.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 6 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
Although it is known that Phenazine biosynthesis-like domain-containing protein (PBLD) expression is downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), its biological function is unclear. Additionally, no agents capable of upregulating PBLD exist. In the current study, the relationship between PBLD and HCC was analyzed using clinicopathological specimens. A HCC cell model, microarray analysis and an animal model were used to verify the therapeutic effect of cedrelone on HCC. The present study demonstrated that PBLD inhibited HCC progression. Furthermore, the present study revealed that cedrelone possessed treated-HCC capabilities via targeted PBLD overexpression. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype and growth rate were inhibited and the apoptosis ratio was promoted by cedrelone following PBLD overexpression. The Ras and Ras-proximate-1 signaling pathways were also determined to be regulated by cedrelone via PBLD activation in HCC. PBLD may therefore be an independent predictor of HCC progression and a novel target for HCC treatment. Additionally, the PBLD activator, cedrelone, may be a potential drug for HCC treatment in the future.
