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) treatment remains challenging due to the prevalence of metastasis and chemotherapy resistance. Mitochondrial stomatin‑like protein 2 (STOML2), which is upregulated in various solid tumors, is associated with a poor prognosis; however, its biological function and molecular mechanism in HCC remain unclear. The present study aimed to elucidate the oncogenic mechanism of STOML2 in HCC and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target. Firstly, STOML2 expression in HCC and matched normal liver tissues was analyzed. In addition, STOML2‑knockdown (HCCLM3‑short hairpin RNA‑STOML2) and ‑overexpression (Huh7‑STOML2) cell models were established. Wound healing, Cell Counting Kit‑8 and Transwell assays, and flow cytometry were performed to assess cell proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis
