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) is one of the most common cause of malignancy-related deaths. Recently, RING-finger protein 5 (RNF5), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, was revealed to be associated with the development of several human cancers. However, the clinical implication and functional role of RNF5 in HCC are poorly understood. We analysed RNF5 expression in HCC samples and observed that both the mRNA and protein levels of RNF5 were significantly increased in HCC tissues. RNF5 upregulation was markedly associated with larger tumour size, more satellite foci, and higher alpha fetoprotein (AFP) level, indicating poor prognosis in patients with HCC. Knockdown and overexpression experiments demonstrated that RNF5 promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells in vitro. Moreover, RNF5 facilitated HCC growth in vivo. Our findings indicated that RNF5 was an oncogene of HCC progression and could be used as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for patients with HCC.
