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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Functionally uncharacterized genes are an attractive repository to explore candidate oncogenes. It is demonstrated that C21orf58 displays an oncogenic role in promoting cell growth, tumorigenesis and sorafenib resistance of HCC cells by abnormal activation of STAT3 signaling. Mechanistically, a novel manner to regulate STAT3 signaling that adaptor C21orf58 forms a ternary complex is reveal with N-terminal domain of STAT3 and SH2 domain of JAK2, by which C21orf58 overactivates wild-type STAT3 by facilitating its phosphorylation mediated by JAK2, and hyper-activates of constitutively mutated STAT3 due to preferred binding with C21orf58 and JAK2. Moreover, it is validated that inhibition of C21orf58 with drug alminoprofen, selected by virtual screening, could effectively repress the viability and tumorigenesis of HCC cells. Therefore, it is identified that C21orf58 functions as an oncogenic adaptor, reveal a novel regulatory mechanism of JAK2/STAT3 signaling, explain the cause of abnormal activity of activated mutants of STAT3, and explore the attractive therapeutic potential by targeting C21orf58 in HCC.
