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) is a leading cause of cancer mortality. It usually arises in cirrhotic liver, where chronic inflammation and fibrosis create a tumor-permissive microenvironment. Dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs), particularly upregulation of the oncomiR miR-221 and loss of the tumor suppressor miR-199a-3p represent key drivers of liver carcinogenesis. The TG221 transgenic mouse, designed to overexpress miR-221 in hepatocytes, provides a relevant in vivo platform for mechanistic studies and for testing preventive and therapeutic approaches. The TG221 model recapitulates miR-221-driven tumorigenesis, including suppression of p27, p57 and Bmf. It is characterized by steatohepatitic injury and accelerated tumor formation after genotoxic challenge. In the cirrhotic CCl
