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

objectivesAccumulating evidence suggests that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) may affect hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. However, the mechanism remains unclear. Previous studies have shown that exosomes may promote tumor progression by transporting proteins. Our study aimed to determine the prognostic value of lncRNAs in HCC and the underlying mechanism.

methodsA dataset comprising a HCC cohort of 364 patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was analyzed to identify lncRNAs with prognostic value. Co-expression and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were constructed to investigate the mechanism of exosome-related lncRNAs. To confirm the bioinformatics analysis results, 95 pairs of clinical samples were evaluated by digoxigenin-labeled chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH).

resultsFive lncRNAs (CTD-2116N20.1, AC012074.2, RP11-538D16.2, LINC00501 and RP11-136I14.5) with significant differences were identified (P<0.001). A prognostic nomogram was constructed with a C-index of 0.701. The co-expression and ceRNA networks showed possible mechanisms for CTD-2116N20.1 and RP11-538D16.2. The CISH results confirmed that CTD-2116N20.1 and RP11-538D16.2 were correlated with a poor prognosis for HCC patients.

conclusionOur findings provide an independent and effective prognostic model to predict the survival rate of HCC patients. RP11-538D16.2 and CTD-2116N20.1 are highlighted as important exosome-related lncRNAs.
