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 role of autophagy in tumor development is complicated. More signaling mechanisms of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) involving in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are needed to be clarified. The present study aimed to identify whether BMP4 contributes to the regulation of autophagy in the progression of HCC. We found that increased BMP4 expression was significantly correlated with TNM stage and metastasis. BMP4 treatment promoted HCC cells invasion and induced autophagy. Blocking autophagy by 3-MA or silenced Beclin1 attenuated BMP4-induced autophagy and cell invasion. Further study revealed that JNK/Beclin1 pathway participated in the process of autophagy and JNK inhibitor SP600125 could attenuate autophagy and reduce the invasive ability of HCC cells induced by BMP4. In a word, BMP4-induced autophagy facilitates invasion of HCC by JNK/Beclin1 signaling pathway.
