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

ADAM15 is highly expressed in malignant tumors and is correlated with tumor progression. However, the role of ADAM15 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. In the study, our results indicated that ADAM15 was highly expressed in HCC tissues and cells compared with corresponding tissues and liver cells. Overexpression of ADAM15 was linked to poor prognosis, and was an independent risk factor for HCC prognosis. Besides, analysis of immune infiltration indicated that ADAM15 expression was related to tumor infiltrating lymphocytes based on the TIMER, TISIDB and GEPIA databases. Many immune checkpoint gene expression was associated with ADAM15 expression. Functional enrichment analyses indicated that apoptosis, cell adhesion was enriched. ADAM15 knockdown promoted apoptosis and suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion of liver cancer cells. The findings of western blot showed that ADAM15 knockdown reduced the expression of Bcl-2, Vimentin, N-Cadherin and Snail, and elevated the expression of Bax, E-cadherin and ZO-1. However, overexpression of ADAM15 had the opposite results. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that ADAM15 was connected with poor prognosis of HCC patients, and could be considered as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of HCC.
