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

Rap2A is overexpressed in a multitude of human cancers and plays an important role in cytoskeleton rearrangement, arteriogenesis and cell migration. However, its role and function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not yet been explored. Here, we aimed to investigate the expression of Rap2A in HCC and the relationship between Rap2A and clinicopathologic features of patients. Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) showed that Rap2A was remarkably upregulated in HCC tissues compared to adjacent normal liver tissues. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed that Rap2A was mainly localized in the cytoplasm rather than nuclei in HCC tissues. Overexpression of Rap2A was significantly correlated with tumor size (
