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 type of primary liver cancer, which is associated with high mortality. HCC is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Cell division cycle 20 (CDC20) has been reported to be associated with the development of various malignant tumors and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been reported to be involved in the malignant metastasis of HCC. Therefore, the present study hypothesized that CDC20 may participate in the malignant biological behavior of HCC via EMT. The present study analyzed the expression levels of CDC20 in HCC and the association between CDC20 and poor prognosis. Furthermore, the effects of CDC20 on the proliferation, invasion and migration of HCC cells were examined using proliferation, migration and invasion assays. Finally, alterations in EMT were analyzed. The results revealed that CDC20 was highly expressed in HCC and HCC cell lines (P<0.05), and its high expression level was significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with HCC (P<0.05). CDC20 silencing inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells. Furthermore, CDC20 silencing increased the expression levels of E‑cadherin, and decreased the expression levels of N‑cadherin, vimentin and Ki‑67. In conclusion, the present study reported that CDC20 may be a novel therapeutic target in HCC and CDC20 could promote the progression of HCC by regulating EMT.
