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

Aberrant angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) leads to tumor growth and local or distant metastasis. Uncovering the underlying mechanisms for the neoangiogenesis of HCC can provide novel potential therapeutic targets in the clinic. Here, we reported that serine/threonine homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) was frequently downregulated in HCC tissues compared with the adjacent normal tissues, and patients with lower HIPK2 protein expression were associated with worse overall survival. Both in vitro and in vivo, HIPK2 inhibited the migration of HCC cells, as well as tumor growth and metastasis in xenograft and orthotopic syngeneic HCC mouse models. Furthermore, HIPK2 inhibited the angiogenesis in HCC tumors. Under the hypoxic condition, HIPK2 knockdown enhanced the angiogenesis and the key regulator, HIF-1α signaling pathway; however, HIPK2 overexpression downregulated the tumoral angiogenesis and HIF-1α signaling. In HCC cells, HIPK2 could directly bind to HIF-1α and stimulate the ubiquitination of HIF-1α for proteasomal degradation. HIF-1α knockout partially rescued the promoting effect of HIPK2 depletion on angiogenesis and tumor growth. In conclusion, the downregulation of HIPK2 could enhance the angiogenesis in HCC through inducing the HIF-1α pathway, and further contribute to tumor growth and metastasis, which may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for HCC.
