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

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are capable of worsening hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prognosis by accelerating tumor growth and progression. Signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family member 6 (SLAMF6; Ly108 in mice) is an immune regulator that is involved in numerous diseases. However, whether SLAMF6 might affect macrophage function in HCC has not yet been reported. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between SLAMF6 expression on macrophages and HCC progression. In the present study, the expression of SLAMF6 in human blood samples and mice was analyzed by flow cytometry. Furthermore, macrophage-related polarization markers were detected via reverse transcription quantitative PCR. Clonogenic formation and Transwell assay were performed to determine the proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells. In addition, a murine HCC model was established to detect the function of SLAMF6
