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) is a common malignancy in human. CD44 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is frequently overexpressed in cancer of various origins. The function and mechanism of CD44 in HCC remains elusive. In this study, we reported that CD44 was overexpressed in HCC to promote the proliferation and migration of HCC cells via oncogenic YAP, which is the key downstream regulator in Hippo pathway. These findings suggest that CD44-YAP is a probable important axis in pathogenesis of HCC, providing an insight in to HCC pathogenesis as well as potential targets for the intervention of HCC.
