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

To explore the molecular mechanism of autologous blood transfusion promoting autophagy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and inhibiting the HCC progression through HIF-1α signalling pathway. This is a research paper. Rat hepatocellular carcinoma model and HepG2 cell model were built. The rats with HCC were conducted a surgery, and their blood was collected for detection to detect the recurrence and metastasis of the rats. Western blot was used to analysed the expression of HIF-1α, TP53, MDM2, ATG5 and ATG14 protein. The apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells was detected by flow cytometry, and autophagosomes were observed by transmission electron microscopy. HIF-1α expression was measured by immunofluorescence assay. The expressions of HIF-1α, TP53, MDM2, ATG5 and ATG14 protein were highest in model + autoblood group compared with the model group. HIF-1α content of model group was higher, but content of TP53, MDM2, ATG5 and ATG14 in the model group is the second. The highest apoptosis rate was found in HepG2 + autoblood group. The number of autophagosomes in HepG2 + autoblood was obviously larger than that of HepG2 + autoblood + inhibitor. HIF-1α expression of immunofluorescence assay showed that high expression of HIF-1α was clearly observed in HepG2 and HepG2 + autoblood group from confocal observation. However, there was no HIF-1α protein expression in HepG2 + autoblood + inhibitor group. The migration rate in HepG2 group, HepG2 + autoblood group and HepG2 + autoblood + inhibitor group was 85.71 ± 7.38%, 14.36 ± 6.54% and 61.25 ± 5.39%, respectively. Autologous blood transfusion promotes autophagy of HCC cells through HIF-1α signalling pathway, which further inhibits HCC migration and erosion.
