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

Due to the difficulty in early diagnosis and the lack of treatment for advanced disease, the mortality rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is high, and the 5-year overall survival rate is low at present. SLC1A4 is a neutral amino acid transporter, but its regulatory role and mechanism in HCC are still unclear. Through analyzing the TCGA database and clinical tissue specimens, this study uncovered the high expression of SLC1A4 in tumor tissues of HCC. Worse more, a high level of SLC1A4 may lead to a poor prognosis of HCC. Mechanically, silencing SLC1A4 inhibited the phosphorylation activation of AKT by suppressing the ubiquitin modification of AKT at lysine 63 and amino acid influx represented by D-serine, decreasing the protein level of
