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

backgroundChromosomal instability plays an important part in cancer, but its genetic basis in liver tumorigenesis remains largely unclear. We aimed to characterize the mechanistic significance and clinical implication of mitotic regulator microtubule-associated protein 9 (MAP9) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsThe biological functions of MAP9 were determined by in vitro tumorigenicity assays. Systematic MAP9 knockout mouse (MAP9

findingsWe found that MAP9 was frequently silenced in HCC tissue samples. The transcriptional silence of MAP9 in liver cancer cell lines and tissue samples was mediated by its promoter hypermethylation. MAP9 promoter hypermethylation or downregulation was associated with poor survival and recurrence in patients with HCC. Mechanistically, ectopic expression of MAP9 in LO2 and HepG2 cell lines impaired cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion, and induced cell apoptosis and cycle arrest, whereas knockdown of MAP9 in Miha cell line showed the opposite effects. We found that MAP9

interpretationMAP9 is a novel tumour suppressor in HCC by inhibiting ERCC3 expression, and serves as a prognostic factor in HCC patients.
