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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumor that occurs in the liver. Its onset is latent, and it shows high heterogeneity and can readily experience intrahepatic metastasis or systemic metastasis, which seriously affects patients' quality of life. Numerous studies have shown that hypoxia inducible factor1α (HIF-1α) plays a significant role in the occurrence and development of tumors, as it promotes the formation of intratumoral vessels and plays a key role in their metastasis and invasion. Some studies have reported that caspase-3, which is induced by various factors, is involved in the apoptosis of tumor cells.

aimTo investigate the expression of caspase-3 and HIF-1α and their relationship to the prognosis of patients with primary HCC complicated by pathological changes of hemorrhage and necrosis.

methodsA total of 88 patients with HCC complicated by pathological changes of hemorrhage and necrosis who were treated at our hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were selected. The expression of caspase-3 and HIF-1α in HCC and paracancerous tissues from these patients was assessed.

resultsThe positive expression rate of caspase-3 in HCC tissues was 27.27%, which was significantly lower than that in the paracancerous tissues (

conclusionThe expression of caspase-3 decreases and HIF-1α increases in HCC tissues complicated by pathological changes of hemorrhage and necrosis, and these are related to clinicopathological features and prognosis.
