The ALKBH5/SOX4 axis promotes liver cancer stem cell properties via activating the SHH signaling pathway.

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.
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), featured with high prevalence and poor prognosis, is the major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. As a subgroup of liver cancer cells capable of differentiation, tumorigenesis and self-renewal, liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs) serve as one of the reasons leading to HCC progression and therapeutic resistance. Therefore, in-depth exploration of novel molecular biomarkers related to LSCSs is of great necessity. In our study, we found that human AlkB homolog H5 (ALKBH5) expression was enriched in LCSCs, which could foster proliferation, invasion and migration of the HCC cells. Mechanically, ALKBH5 positively mediated the expression of SOX4 via demethylation, and SOX4 promoted SHH expression at the transcriptional level to activate sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway. Furthermore, exosomes derived from CD133
