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

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant cancer with rapid progression, vascular invasion, a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis, so it is necessary to take early measures to halt this process. Accumulating evidence indicates that collagen XV (translated by Col15a1) is a basement membrane molecule related to tumour metastasis in several organs. However, the potential function of collagen XV in the liver associated with HCC remains to be further elucidated. Methods: Col15a1 was overexpressed in HepG2 and HCCLM3 cells. CCK8 and colony formation assays were used to assess the capacity of cell proliferation, and Transwell and wound healing assays were utilized to measure cell migration. Western blotting and real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) quantified the protein and mRNA expression levels of genes related to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Then, the effect of collagen XV on tumour metastasis was confirmed Results: Patients of HCC with higher expression of Col15a1 showed better survival than patients with low expression. Overexpression of collagen XV in HepG2 and HCCLM3 cells suppressed cell proliferation and migration Conclusions: Collagen XV functioned as a metastasis inhibitor in HCC by regulating the DDR1-Snail/Slug axis to regulate EMT.
