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.
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
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers with a high mortality rate due to metastasis and relapse. Purpose Here, we reported a small-molecule pyridazinone compound, designated as IMB5036. Its antitumor activity against HCC and underlying mechanism were studied. Methods In vitro cytotoxicity, apoptosis, DNA breaks, and cell motility assays were performed. Protein expression was analyzed by Western blot and microarray analysis. A xenograft tumor model in athymic mice was used to evaluate the antitumor activity. Results IMB5036 displayed potent cytotoxicity against various HCC cell lines. It caused double DNA breakages and induced cell death via apoptosis. It also significantly inhibited the motility of HCC cells. Western blot showed that IMB5036 induced the up-regulation of E-cadherin, while down-regulation of N-cadherin. The gene expression profile analysis and Western blot assay revealed that IMB5036 down-regulated the expression of Tau protein. Analysis of the TCGA dataset revealed that high expression of Tau decreased the survival rate of HCC patients. In vivo experiments proved that IMB5036 significantly inhibited the growth of HCC xenografts in athymic mice. Conclusions These results collectively demonstrate IMB5036 can be a promising therapeutic candidate for patients with HCC.
