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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to elucidate the molecular basis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) caused by genotype-C hepatitis B virus (HBV).

methodsWe compared molecular profiles of 15 HCCs and five non-tumorous livers, all of which were associated with genotype-C HBV infection, using DNA microarray technology.

resultsOur supervised learning identified 237 genes whose expression differed between HCCs and non-tumorous livers. This result was validated by a false discovery rate of 0%. Levels of expression of 35 and 202 genes were higher and lower, respectively, in HCCs than in non-tumorous livers. Among the 237 genes, we highlighted the top 35 upregulated and top 35 down regulated genes in tumor. Interestingly, when overlapping genes were excluded, 12 (e.g., NM23-H2, MCM7, PARP1, YWHAH, HSPB1, and MSH2) of the top 34 upregulated genes and five (e.g., MT1A and MT3) of the top 33 downregulated genes were c-myc-regulated genes. The microarray data for five randomly selected genes (MCM7, UBE2L3, PPIA, CXCL12, and ASS) were confirmed by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

conclusionsOur results indicate that many c-myc-regulated genes are involved in genotype-C-HBV-related HCC, suggesting that c-myc is related to the hepatocarcinogenic activity of genotype-C HBV.
