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

MAP/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 4 (MARK4) is associated with various biological functions, including neuronal migration, cell polarity, microtubule dynamics, apoptosis, and cell cycle regulation, specifically in the G1/S checkpoint, cell signaling, and differentiation. It plays a critical role in different types of cancers. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the one of the most common forms of liver cancer caused due to mutations, epigenetic aberrations, and altered gene expression patterns. Here, we have applied an integrated network biology approach to see the potential links of MARK4 in HCC, and subsequently identified potential herbal drugs. This work focuses on the naturally-derived compounds from medicinal plants and their properties, making them targets for potential anti-hepatocellular treatments. We further analyzed the HCC mutated genes from the TCGA database by using cBioPortal and mapped out the MARK4 targets among the mutated list. MARK4 and Mimosin, Quercetin, and Resveratrol could potentially interact with critical cancer-associated proteins. A set of the hepatocellular carcinoma altered genes is directly the part of infection, inflammation, immune systems, and cancer pathways. Finally, we conclude that among all these drugs, Gingerol and Fisetin appear to be the highly promising drugs against MARK4-based targets, followed by Quercetin, Resveratrol, and Apigenin.
