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

The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after surgical resection remains unsatisfactory for the majority of HCC patients who developed early recurrence or metastasis. There is still a lack of reliable biomarkers that can be used to predict the possibility of recurrence/metastasis in HCC patients after operation. In the current study, annexin A4, a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, has been found to be significantly elevated in HCC patients with early recurrence/metastasis, and had a strong correlation with portal vein tumor thrombosis (p = 0.03) and advanced BCLC stage (p = 0.002). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that annexin A4 was an independent prognostic predictor for both early recurrence/metastasis (HR = 1.519, p = 0.032) and overall survival (HR = 1.827, p = 0.009) after surgical resection. Meanwhile, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that Patients with high-expression levels of annexin A4 had higher recurrence rate and shorter overall survival than those with low expression (log-rank test, p < 0.001). Furthermore, in vitro studies have demonstrated that overexpression of annexin A4 facilitated HCC cell migration and invasion via regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In conclusion, annexin A4 has played important roles in the progression of HCC, and might act as a potential prognostic biomarker for HCC.
