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

SK-Hep1 cells serve as a cell model of hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatocyte biology. However, SK-Hep1 cells are markedly different from normal hepatocytes and other hepatocellular carcinoma cells in their gene expression and protein levels. Furthermore, endothelial-specific makers and morphological characteristics are found in SK-Hep1 cells, indicating an endothelial origin. To confirm their cell phenotype, we investigated and compared the surface ultrastructure, endothelial function, and molecular markers of SK-Hep1 cells
