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

backgroundThe methylation level of long interspersed nucleotide element-1 (LINE-1) is a good surrogate marker of the global DNA methylation level. The relationship between LINE-1 methylation level and prognosis in primary liver cancer (PLC) patients remains unclear.

resultsLINE-1 methylation levels were significantly lower in HCC and cHCC-CC tissues, but not in ICC tissues, than those in noncancerous liver parenchyma (HCC:

conclusionsThe genome-wide DNA hypomethylation status estimated via LINE-1 methylation levels might be indicative of poor RFS in patients with HCC but not ICC or cHCC-CC.

methodsWe evaluated the level of LINE-1 methylation in 321 cases of curatively resected PLC {231 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 19 combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) and 71 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC)} via pyrosequencing of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues and examined its prognostic value.
