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

Tumor angiogenesis is a hallmark of liver cancer and is necessary for tumor growth and progression. Supervillin (SVIL) is highly expressed and implicated in several malignant processes of liver cancer. However, the functional relationships between SVIL and tumor angiogenesis in liver cancer have not yet been fully elucidated. The present study was based on bioinformatics analysis, patient tissue sample detection, three‑dimensional simulated blood vessel formation, a series of cytological experiments and mouse models. The results demonstrated the important role of SVIL in the progression of malignant liver cancer and tumor angiogenesis, both in terms of vasculogenic mimicry (VM) and endothelium‑dependent vessel (EDV) development. SVIL knockdown inhibited VM formation and induced tumor cell apoptosis via the VEGF‑p38 signaling axis and through various VM‑associated transcriptional factors, including vascular endothelial‑cadherin, matrix metalloproteinase 9/12 and migration‑inducing protein 7. SVIL may therefore be considered a potential tumor vascular biomarker and a promising therapeutic target for patients with liver cancer.
