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

backgroundLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can act as microRNA (miRNA) sponges to regulate protein-coding gene expression; therefore, lncRNAs are considered a major part of the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and have attracted growing attention. The present study explored the regulatory mechanisms and functional roles of lncRNAs as ceRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their potential impact on HCC patient prognosis.

methodsIn this study, we systematically studied the expression profiles and prognostic value of lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA from a total of 838 HCC patients from five HCC cohorts (TCGA, GSE54236, GSE76427, GSE64041 and GSE14520). The TCGA, GSE54236 and GSE76427 HCC cohorts were utilized to establish a prognosis-related network of dysregulated ceRNAs by bioinformatics methods. The GSE64041 and GSE14520 HCC cohorts were utilized to verify the expression of candidate genes.

resultsIn total, 721 lncRNAs, 73 miRNAs, and 1563 mRNAs were aberrantly expressed in HCC samples. A ceRNA network including 26 lncRNAs, four miRNAs, and six mRNAs specific to HCC was established. The survival analysis showed that four lncRNAs (MYCNOS, DLX6-AS1, LINC00221, and CRNDE) and two mRNAs (CCNB1 and SHCBP1) were prognostic biomarkers for patients with HCC in both the TCGA and GEO databases.

conclusionThe proposed ceRNA network may help elucidate the regulatory mechanism by which lncRNAs function as ceRNAs and contribute to the pathogenesis of HCC. Importantly, the candidate lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs involved in the ceRNA network can be further evaluated as potential therapeutic targets and prognostic biomarkers for HCC.
