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

Metabolic reprogramming plays a critical role in hepatocarcinogenesis. However, the mechanisms regulating metabolic reprogramming in primary liver cancer (PLC) are unknown. Differentially expressed miRNAs between PLC and normal tissues were identified using bioinformatic analysis. RT-qPCR was used to determine miR-10b-5p and SCL38A2 expression levels. IHC, WB, and TUNEL assays were used to assess the proliferation and apoptosis of the tissues. The proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of PLC cells were determined using the CCK-8 assay, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry. The interaction between miR-10b-5p and SLC38A2 was determined using dual-luciferase reporter assay. A PLC xenograft model in BALB/c nude mice was established, and tumorigenicity and SLC38A2 expression were estimated. Finally, liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (LC-MS) untargeted metabolomics was used to analyze the metabolic profiles of xenograft PLC tissues in nude mice. miR-10b-5p was a key molecule in the regulation of PLC. Compared with para-carcinoma tissues, miR-10b-5p expression was increased in tumor tissues. miR-10b-5p facilitated proliferation, migration, and invasion of PLC cells. Mechanistically, miR-10b-5p targeted SLC38A2 to promote PLC tumor growth. Additionally, miR-10b-5p altered the metabolic features of PLC
