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 Heptocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated antigens by proteomics, and validate whether autoantibodies against tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) could be used for diagnosis and conditional monitoring.

resultsThe 78 kDa glucose regulated protein (GRP78) was selected as a candidate TAA. The titers of autoantibodies against 78 kDa glucose regulated protein (GRP78) from patients with HCC, liver cirrhosis (LC), and chronic hepatitis (CH) were significantly higher than that from normal controls (P<0.05, P<0.001, and P<0.01, respectively). The expression of autoantibodies against GRP78 was associated with clinical stage (P<0.01), portal vein invasion (P<0.05), and metastasis (P<0.05). The expression of anti-GRP78 antibodies was significantly higher 1 month after surgery in recurrent patients who had accepted hepatic resection 1 month after surgery compared to patients who had surgery before surgery or within 1 week after surgery (P<0.01 and P<0.001). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed higher expression of GRP78 in HCC compared to the non-HCC liver tissues (P <0.05). MATERIALS AND

methodsHCC serum with high titer of autoantibodies against TAAs were screened and used for a proteome-based approach to identify HCC associated antigens. Indirect enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) was used to detect the corresponding autoantibodies against TAAs.

conclusionGRP78 is an autoantigen that could stimulate autoimmune responses and serve as a potential marker for recurrent and metastatic progression in HCC.
