Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia Increases Cell Proliferation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Article in Cells, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is characterized by chronic intermittent hypoxia and is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, including cancer mortality. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, characterized by increasing incidence and high mortality. However, the link between HCC and OSA-related chronic intermittent hypoxia remains unclear. Herein, we used a diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced HCC model to investigate whether OSA-related chronic intermittent hypoxia has an impact on HCC progression. To elucidate the associated mechanisms, we first evaluated the hypoxia status in the DEN-induced HCC model. Next, to simulate OSA-related intermittent hypoxia, we exposed cirrhotic rats with HCC to intermittent hypoxia during six weeks. We performed histopathological, immunohistochemical, RT-qPCR, and RNA-seq analysis. Chronic DEN injections strongly promoted cell proliferation, fibrosis, disorganized vasculature, and hypoxia in liver tissue, which mimics the usual events observed during human HCC development. Intermittent hypoxia further increased cell proliferation in DEN-induced HCC, which may contribute to an increased risk of HCC progression. In conclusion, our observations suggest that chronic intermittent hypoxia may be a factor worsening the prognosis of HCC.
