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

The poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is mainly due to its high metastatic properties. Hence, metastasis inhibition might provide a reliable strategy for HCC treatment. As its pivotal role in the tumor cell proliferation, survival and metastasis, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) has become an attractive target for cancer therapy. Nevertheless, the role of ADAM17 in HCC metastasis and its underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic. In the present study, we discovered a novel ADAM17 inhibitor FLF-15, with an IC
