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

introductionThe underlying mechanism involved in the recurrence of hepatoma after hepatic arterial embolization (HAE) is not adequately examined. An immunosuppressive cytokine, transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), can lead to tumor progression and is affected by hypoxia in various cancers. The study aimed to assess the effect of HAE on the expression of TGF-β1 in a rat hepatoma model.

methodsSprague-Dawley rats bearing N1S1 hepatoma cells underwent HAE (HAE group,

resultsIHC showed that both the TGF-β1-positive and HIF-1α-positive tumor peripheral areas were larger in the HAE group (6.59 ± 2.49 and 10.26 ± 4.14%;

conclusionHAE enhanced local TGF-β1 expression in a rat hepatoma model. In vitro experiments suggest that HAE-induced hypoxic stress may trigger the interdependent expression of TGF-β1 and HIF-1α.
