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 investigate the effects of anti-GPC3 antibody on the Wnt/catenin pathway in liver cancer biology, thus providing a new target for the biological treatment of the disease. A total of 12 BALB/C experimental nude mice were selected as experimental objects. The mice were all male, weighed 15-20 g and aged 4-5 weeks. First, mouse liver cancer models were constructed. Then, the HepG2 liver cancer cells in logarithmic growth period were inoculated into the caudal veins of mouse models. On the 3rd day after inoculation, the tumor formations of nude mice were observed. Second, the anti-GPC3 antibody was designed and constructed, and the activity of anti-GPC3 antibody was detected. The mouse models were divided into the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG), with 6 mice in each group. In the EG, mice were injected with 3 mg/kg of anti-GPC3 antibody in the caudal veins once a day for three consecutive days, while in the CG mice were injected with the same amount of saline as the control. Mice in both groups received 3 injections in total. After the last administration, all mice were euthanized using the decapitation method following anesthesia with ethyl ether. The liver cancer cells of nude mice were extracted and cultured in DMEM medium. The effects of anti-GPC3 antibody on Wnt/β-catenin in liver cancer nude mice and the effects of anti-GPC3 antibody on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in mouse liver cancer cells were observed. The bodyweight, liver weight and index of mice in the EG increased significantly (P < 0.05). The serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels of mice in the EG were reduced than those in the CG (P < 0.05). Compared with the CG, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentration increased, while the malonaldehyde (MDA) concentration decreased in the liver tissues of mice in the EG (P < 0.05). There was binding activity between GPC3 recombinant protein and the antibody; the affinity constant was K
