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 well-known to be a highly prevalent malignant tumor, but the treatment of this pathological state has been still challenging. Solamargine (SM), a traditional Chinese herb-derived compound, has been widely reported to possess multiple antitumor properties. However, whether SM plays a vital role in HCC therapy and how it exerts an antitumor effect remains unclear. Thus, in this study, we demonstrated that SM inhibited the proliferation of HCC and effectively induced HCC cell apoptosis and autophagy in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the oncogenic factor LIF was aberrantly elevated in HCC tissues and down-regulated by SM in HCC cells, as well as subsequently the overexpression of LIF could restore the anti-HCC effects of SM via miR-192-5p/CYR61/Akt signaling pathways. Additionally, SM could repolarize tumor associated macrophages by LIF/p-Stat3 to inhibit the growth and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of HCC, and simultaneously affected other immune cell populations in the immune (tumor) microenvironment by regulating macrophages, such as MDSCs, DCs and T cell populations. Together, these findings exploit the potential use of SM against HCC and shed light on exploring SM as a potent candidate drug for the future HCC therapeutics.
