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

Patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) suffered a high risk of recurrence and poor prognosis. Identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HCC provides potential biomarkers for evaluating prognosis and specific therapeutic treatments. In this study, DEGs over-expressed in HCC specimens with a fold change over 2.0 were collected through integrative bioinformatics analysis from GEO datasets. Gene ontology and KEGG pathway enrichment were conducted by applying DAVID database. We noticed Secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) as one of the signature genes up-regulated in HCC tissues with a close relation to the tumor process. Eighty-seven paired HCC specimens from our medical center were explored to verify the aberrant expression of SPP1 by IHC and qRT-PCR assay. Depletion of SPP1 in HCC Hep3B cells was established. The cell proliferation was impaired in SPP1 depleted cells, along with a resistance of cell apoptosis by down-regulating SPP1. Intriguingly, we further validated a direct interaction between miR-181c and SPP1, which indicated a post-transcriptional regulation mechanism of SPP1 in HCC. Thus, our results suggest that SPP1 may function as an enhancer of HCC growth targeted by miR-181c, and probably provide us an innovational target for HCC diagnose and therapeutic treatment.
