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

BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is closely related to the development of cancer. The present study investigated the potential predictive value of lncRNA GMDS divergent transcript (GMDS-DT) in the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS GMDS-DT was acquired by microarray data in 3 pairs of M1 and M2 macrophage duplicate samples. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to evaluate expression levels of GMDS-DT in liver cancer relative to normal tissue of 198 patients. The significance of GMDS-DT in prognosis after hepatectomy was examined via Kaplan-Meier test and Cox regression analysis. RESULTS The expression of GMDS-DT in liver cancer tissue was significantly lower than that in adjacent normal liver tissue (P<0.001), and was significantly associated with drinking history and metastasis (both P<0.05). The Kaplan-Meier test suggested that patients with lower expression levels of GMDS-DT in liver cancer tissue had significantly shorter disease-free survival and overall survival times after hepatectomy (P=0.028 and P=0.003, respectively). Cox regression analysis further indicated that GMDS-DT was an independent risk factor for disease-free survival and overall survival times of patients after hepatectomy (P=0.015 and P=0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS LncRNA GMDS-DT might be a potential biomarker for the prognosis of patients with liver cancer after hepatectomy.
