Investigating the Association between COMMD3 Expression and the Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Article in Journal of Cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
The Copper Metabolism MURR1 Domain (COMMD) family proteins are known to play roles in promoting or inhibiting the proliferation, migration and invasion of tumor cells. However, the role of COMMD3 in hepatocellular carcinoma are still unclear. By investigating the TCGA datasets, we found that the mRNA expression of COMMD3 was significantly upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue compared with normal liver tissue, which was further supported by Oncomine dataset, Western blot, qRT-PCR, and IHC analysis. Moreover, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the high expression of COMMD3 was associated with poor overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Consistently, the clinic-pathological analysis found that the overexpression of COMMD3 was correlated with advanced TNM stage, advanced T stage and vascular invasion. By performing multivariate analysis, we found that the expression of COMMD3 was an independent influencing factor on OS and DFS. Furthermore, we knocked down COMMD3 in HCC cells via RNA interference. The results showed that silencing COMMD3 could inhibit the migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of HCC cells. Finally, we established xenograft tumor model in nude mice, and the knockdown of COMMD3 suppressed tumor growth and angiogenesis. In summary, our study showed that the high expression of COMMD3 was correlated with poor prognosis in HCC patients and contributed to migration, invasion and angiogenesis of HCC cells.
