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

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signaling plays an important role in liver regeneration and carcinogenesis. Dysregulation of FXR signaling is linked to the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) while FXR knockout mice spontaneously develop HCC as they age. Ubiquitin specific peptidase 2b (USP2b) is a deubiquitinating enzyme regulating protein stability and other activities. In our recent study, we found that USP2b was significantly downregulated in subjects with HCC and exhibited both tumor-promoting and tumor suppressive activity in a context-dependent manner. However, the mechanistic link between FXR signaling and USP2b and its implications in the pathogenesis of HCC remain to be determined. In this study, we revealed that USP2b was transcriptionally regulated by FXR. Activation of FXR significantly increased while antagonizing FXR reduced USP2b mRNA and protein expression
