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

objectiveFOXP4-AS1 (FOXP4 antisense RNA 1) is putatively a functional oncogene in colorectal cancer. This study constructed a regulatory network involving FOXP4-AS1 for better understanding of its function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsFOXP4-AS1 was assessed in HCC and adjacent normal (control) liver samples via quantitative real-time PCR. Differentially expressed micro RNAs (DEmiRNAs) were predicted. Their target genes were verified via the gene expression profiling interaction analysis (GEPIA) database, and subjected to gene ontology (GO) annotation and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome) pathway enrichment analysis. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were established and hub genes identified with Cytoscape software. The GEPIA database was used to assess the prognostic roles of 20 hub genes in liver cancer. The cBioPortal database was used to exhibit alterations of the genes.

resultsThe HCC samples had significantly higher levels of FOXP4-AS1 compared with the control (

conclusionAn HCC-associated FOXP4-AS1-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was constructed, and molecular mechanisms involved in HCC development were elucidated. This work provides direction for finding new HCC therapeutic targets.
