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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer and is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Given that the standard-of-care for advanced liver cancer is limited, there is an urgent need to develop a novel molecular targeted therapy to improve therapeutic outcomes for HCC. In order to tackle this issue, we conducted functional analysis of the histone lysine-specific demethylase (LSD1) to explore the possibility that this enzyme acts as a therapeutic target in HCC. According to immunohistochemical analysis, 232 of 303 (77%) HCC cases showed positive staining of LSD1 protein, and its expression was correlated with several clinicopathological characteristics, such as female gender, AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) levels, and HCV (hepatitis C virus) infectious. The survival curves for HCC using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test indicate that positive LSD1 protein expression was significantly associated with decreased rates of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS); the multivariate analysis indicates that LSD1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for both OS and DFS in patients with HCC. In addition, knockout of LSD1 using the CRISPR/Cas9 system showed a significantly lower number of colony formation units (CFUs) and growth rate in both SNU-423 and SNU-475 HCC cell lines compared to the corresponding control cells. Moreover, LSD1 knockout decreased cells in S phase of SNU-423 and SNU-475 cells with increased levels of H3K4me1/2 and H3K9me1/2. Finally, we identified the signaling pathways regulated by LSD1 in HCC, including the retinoic acid (RA) pathway. Our findings imply that deregulation of LSD1 can be involved in HCC; further studies may explore the usefulness of LSD1 as a therapeutic target of HCC.
