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

The threat of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a growing problem, with incidence rates anticipated to near double over the next two decades. The increasing burden makes discovery of novel diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic biomarkers distinguishing HCC from underlying cirrhosis a significant focus. In this study, we analyzed tissue and serum samples from 40 HCC cases and 25 patients with liver cirrhosis (CIRR) to better understand the mechanistic differences between HCC and CIRR. Through pathway and network analysis, we are able to take a systems biology approach to conduct multi-omic analysis of transcriptomic, glycoproteomic, and metabolomic data acquired through various platforms. As a result, we are able to identify the FXR/RXR Activation pathway as being represented by molecules spanning multiple molecular compartments in these samples. Specifically, serum metabolites deoxycholate and chenodeoxycholic acid and serum glycoproteins C4A/C4B, KNG1, and HPX are biomarker candidates identified from this analysis that are of interest for future targeted studies. These results demonstrate the integrative power of multi-omic analysis to prioritize clinically and biologically relevant biomarker candidates that can increase understanding of molecular mechanisms driving HCC and make an impact in patient care.
