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

introductionHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a global health problem with increasing morbidity and mortality, and exploring the diagnosis and treatment of HCC at the gene level has become a research hotspot in recent years. As the rate-limiting enzyme of carnosine hydrolysis, CNDP1 participates in the progress of many diseases, but its function in HCC has not been fully elucidated.

methodsThis study firstly screened differentially expressed genes from the biochip related to HCC by bioinformatic analysis, and CNDP1 was finally selected for in-depth study. Then the bioinformatics analysis results were validated by detecting the expression of CNDP1 in human HCC samples and hepatoma cell lines. Furthermore, the effect of CNDP1 on the malignant behavior of hepatoma cell lines were assessed using MTT colorimetric assay, EdU staining assay, colony formation, wound-healing assay and transwell, and the molecular mechanism was also preliminarily explored.

resultsThis study found that CNDP1 expression was decreased significantly in human HCC tissues and cell lines, and its overexpression could significantly suppress cell proliferation, migration and invasion of hepatoma cell lines. Mechanistically the GeneMANIA database predicted that CNDP1 could interact with various proteins involved in regulating PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway. Furthermore, this study showed that CNDP1 overexpression could effectively inhibit the activation of PI3KAKT- mTOR signaling pathways, more significantly, inhibition of PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway could disrupt the anti-cancer effect of CNDP1 on HCC.

conclusionThis study confirm that CNDP1 expression is decreased significantly in HCC, and has potential anti-cancer activity, this discovery provides a cytological basis for further understanding the biological function of CNDP1 and diagnosis and gene therapy of HCC in the future.
