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

backgroundLethal giant larvae (Lgl), scaffolding proteins, regulate the epithelial cell apicobasal polarity in Drosophila. They play important roles in asymmetric cell division, cell migration, and progenitor cells self-renewal as tumor suppressors. One of Lgl mammalian homologues proteins, LLGL2 overexpression has been reported in ER+ breast cancer and promotes tumor proliferation through regulating leucine uptake. Nonetheless, the role of LLGL2 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still unknown.

methodsTCGA dataset mining, qRT-PCR, Western blot along with immunohistochemistry assays were employed to explore LLGL2 expression in human HCC samples and cell lines. Moreover, the clinical value of LLGL2 was investigated in 156 HCC patients. Furthermore, the role as well as the molecular mechanism of LLGL2 in the progression of HCC was explored through a series of

resultsLLGL2 was up-regulated in HCC tissues, which was related with certain clinicopathological features including tumor number, vascular invasion as well as advanced stage. High expression of LLGL2 predicted poor prognosis after hepatectomy. LLGL2 promoted HCC cells proliferation, migration and invasion through PI3K/ATK signaling by promoting calcium ion influx.

conclusionOur study identified that LLGL2 is a tumor promoter in HCC for the first time, which could potentially be utilized as a new biomarker and a therapeutic target for HCC.
