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

Background & Aims: Lysosome-associated protein transmembrane 4β (LAPTM4B) is an oncogene implicated in the malignant progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous research established a strong association between LAPTM4B and HCC stemness. However, specific mechanisms by which LAPTM4B regulates and maintains the stemness of liver cancer stem cells remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of LAPTM4B on the stemness regulation of cluster of differentiation 133 (CD133) Methods: We used RNA interference and overexpression techniques in both Results: LAPTM4B promoted the self-renewal ability, chemoresistance, and tumorigenicity of CD133 Conclusions: LAPTM4B promotes CD133 Impact and implications: LAPTM4B contributes significantly to CD133
