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

purposeTo identify and characterize novel genetic alterations in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsDNA was extracted from 29 HCC and corresponding normal tissues and amplified with 59 different 10-base arbitrary primers. A 550 bp DNA fragment amplified using primer Q-9 and which was present in 19 of 29 cases (66%) was cloned, sequenced, and compared with known nucleotide sequences deposited in Genome database, and quantified by real-time PCR.

resultsDNA alterations were found on chromosomes 5q34, 6p25.2 and 8q12.1 in 11 of 29 cases (38%), 7 of 29 cases (24%), and 12 of 29 cases (41%), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the allelic loss on chromosome 5q34 was an independent prognostic factor for poor survival of HCC patients, with the median survival time of 19 weeks for allelic loss versus 109 weeks for no allelic loss (P = 0.001).

conclusionsThis study indicates that allelic loss on chromosome 5q34 may be involved in the development of HCC and could be used as a prognostic indicator in HCC patients.
