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) continues to cause severe burden worldwide. The limited options especially toward HCC with metastasis prompts us to identify novel molecules for either diagnostic/prognostic or therapeutic purposes. GRPEL2 is well defined in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis, which is critical to multiple biological processes for cancer survival. However, its role in HCC progression was not investigated before. In our analysis using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (TCGA LIHC) dataset and tissue microarray, higher expression levels of GRPEL2 were obseved in HCC tissues compared to in normal liver tissues, and indicated higher tumor grade, higher tumor stage, and shorter overall survival (OS). Consistent with the results of above analyses, the functional experiments validated that GRPEL2 acted as a tumor-promoting factor in HCC progression. GRPEL2 knockdown suppressed cell growth, migration, and invasion
