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

backgroundPARP1-binding protein (PARPBP/PARI/C12orf48), a negative regulator of homologous recombination (HR), has been suggested to function as an oncogene in cervical, lung, and pancreatic cancer.

objectiveTo investigate the expression profile of PARPBP and its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsUsing data from the Cancer Genome Atlas and Human Protein Atlas databases, PARPBP expression level and its clinical implication in HCC were identified by t test and Chi-square test. The prognostic value of PARPBP in HCC was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method, Cox regression analysis, and nomogram. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to screen biological pathways correlated with PARPBP expression in HCC.

resultsPARPBP was significantly upregulated in HCC tissues compared with normal liver tissues (P < 0.05). High PARPBP expression was significantly associated with elevated serum AFP level, vascular invasion, poor tumor differentiation, and advanced TNM stage (all P < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier analyses suggested that upregulation of PARPBP was correlated with worse overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in HCC. Multivariate analyses further confirmed that PARPBP upregulation was an independent indicator of poor OS and RFS (all P < 0.05). The prognostic nomograms based on PARPBP mRNA expression and TNM stage were superior to those based on the TNM staging system alone (all P < 0.05). Besides, PARPBP DNA copy gain and miR-139-5p downregulation were associated with PARPBP upregulation in HCC. GSEA revealed that "cell cycle," "HR," "DNA replication," and "p53 signaling" pathways were enriched in high PARPBP expression group.

conclusionPARPBP may be a promising prognostic biomarker and candidate therapeutic target in HCC.
