Desmocollin-2 inhibits cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma via the ERK/c-MYC signaling pathway.

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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers around the world with a poor prognosis. The main reason for poor prognosis is early stage HCC is inconspicuous so it is difficult to detect and effective treatment strategies are lacking for advanced HCC. In this context, novel molecular targets are urgently needed for the diagnosis and therapy of HCC. In this study, we investigated the expression level, biological function, and relative mechanism of Desmocollin-2(DSC2) in HCC. DSC2 expression levels were decreased significantly in HCC cell lines SMMC-7721(7721), Huh7, HCC-LM3(LM3), and MHCC-97H(97H), especially in LM3 cells, compared with human liver cell line L02(L02). DSC2 overexpression in LM3 cells could inhibit the proliferation (
