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

DNA microarray technology has revolutionized our understanding of the molecular basis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most fatal human cancers with a high recurrence rate. Many researchers have used DNA microarray technology to reclassify HCC with respect to metastatic potential and to develop predictors for the outcome of HCC. However, developed predictors have reached the level only of small retrospective studies, and their current status is far from that required for clinical use. This is due to the lack of transparent data, the high cost and data instability associated with the high dimensionality of the technique, the infancy of bioinformatics, and the complicated nature of recurrent HCC. This comprehensive review summarizes: (i) class comparison studies to identify genes or pathways involved in HCC metastasis (ii) class discovery studies that have resulted in the identification of a new molecular subclass of HCC with respect to metastasis, and (iii) class prediction studies to develop multidimensional predictors for HCC outcome. We also discuss issues that need to be addressed so that the power of array-based predictors can be estimated prospectively in large independent cohorts of HCC patients.
