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

Liver cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and is the only cancer type among the five deadliest cancers with an increasing incidence each year. The prognosis of liver cancer is poor and no effective treatment for this cancer to date. Arsenic sulfide has been found to be effective in the treatment of hematological malignancies but its therapeutic outcomes and associated mechanisms in liver cancer remain unknown. In this study, we found that arsenic sulfide treatment could effectively inhibit the proliferation, migration and promotion of apoptosis of hepatoma cell lines, and remarkably alleviated the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma in mouse models. Transcriptomic analysis of the HepG2 cell line treated with arsenic sulfide showed that arsenic sulfide inhibited the proliferation of hepatoma cells by inhibiting the expression of Triacylglycerol and Lipid Catabolism Deficient 1 (TLCD1), thereby alleviating the malignant progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. This study provides a molecular basis for arsenic sulfide in the treatment of liver cancer.
