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

objectiveHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. This study investigated the relationship between cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKN)3 and prognosis and pathological characteristics in HCC patients to determine whether it could be used as a prognostic factor and/or therapeutic target for HCC drug development.

methodsWe previously showed that CDKN3 is deregulated in HCC tumor samples. Here, bioinformatics analysis was used to assess the relationship between CDKN3 gene expression and the characteristics of HCC patients from Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas databases. Additionally, CDKN3 expression was silenced by small interfering RNA to determine its effect on HCC cell proliferation and on HCC cell sensitivity to adriamycin chemotherapy.

resultsBioinformatics analysis showed a negative correlation between CDKN3 expression and both disease-free survival and overall survival. CDKN3 silencing did not significantly suppress the proliferation of HCC cells, but did decrease their sensitivity to adriamycin.

conclusionsCDKN3 may have a dual role during the development of HCC, and could be used as an independent prognostic factor and therapeutic target for HCC treatment.
