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

OTU domain-containing protein 3 (OTUD3), a deubiquitinating enzyme, has been shown to participate in progression of multiple malignancies. The accurate function of OTUD3 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression remains elusive. We found that OTUD3 was significantly overexpressed in HCC, and higher OTUD3 expression was correlated with larger tumor size, more distant metastasis, and worse TNM stage. A series of gain- and loss-of-function assays were also performed to examine the oncogenic function of OTUD3 in promoting HCC cell growth and metastasis
