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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the most common malignant cancer worldwide. Numerous studies have indicated that C‑type lectin domain family 4 member M (CLEC4M) is associated with tumor progression; however, the biological functions of CLEC4M in HCC have not been investigated. In the present study, CLEC4M overexpression was observed to be associated with a favorable patient overall, relapse‑free, progression‑free and disease‑specific survival by using the KMplot™ database. The present study then concentrated specifically on the functions of CLEC4M by performing cell counting kit‑8 proliferation, 5‑Ethynyl‑2'‑deoxyuridine and flow cytometric assays. CLEC4M overexpression inhibited proliferation and enhanced apoptosis in Huh7 and PLC/PRF/5 cells. Furthermore, the results demonstrated by using western blotting that CLEC4M overexpression inhibited the Janus kinase 1/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 pathway, which is involved in various types of tumors including HCC. In conclusion, the present study reported that CLEC4M may be considered as a novel indicator of HCC and may provide a theoretical basis for improving the survival of patients with HCC.
