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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presents a global therapeutic challenge owing to its aggressive tumor progression and limited treatment options. Therefore, identifying novel therapeutic targets is urgently needed. In this study, we identified CAPG as a top candidate gene that is upregulated in HCC tissues and predicts poor clinical prognosis, based on proteomic sequencing, public database analysis, and immunohistochemistry. The biological role of CAPG in HCC tumorigenesis was investigated using cell lines, xenograft models, and pulmonary metastasis models. We found that CAPG depletion inhibited tumor proliferation and metastasis both in vivo and in vitro. Functional assays were also performed to assess the effects of CAPG on sorafenib-induced ferroptosis. Colony formation assays, IC
