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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was the second most common malignant tumor with a poor prognostic condition. We aimed to identify novel methylation signatures to predict HCC patients at their early stages. Differentially expressed methylated genes between HCC patients and normal liver tissues retrieved from TCGA were screened out by SAM. Genes highly related to patients' survival were figured out by COX. The signatures that could identify relapse HCC patients were identified by the forwarding search algorithm. Besides, functional enrichment analysis was performed on the methylation genes in the signature. A total of 5,392 CPG sites that differentially methylated expressed were found out and 4,294 differentially expressed genes were obtained. A total of 197 genes among were associated with RFS of HCC patients at both stage I and stage II. Signature composed of 21 pairs was obtained to predict the prognostic situation by C-index forward search method. The function of these genes was figured out by functional enrichment analysis. To summary, the signature composed of 21 gene pairs that can predict the prognostic situation of HCC patients at both stage I and stage II, provided a reference standard for the adjuvant therapy of HCC patients after surgery.
