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

Tumor recurrence following radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment in liver cancer is an important factor affecting patient prognosis. Furthermore, the biological role of long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in residual hepatoblastoma (HB) tissues after RFA remains largely unknown. By using microarray technology, this study investigated the expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs among four pairs of HB tissues (incomplete ablation treatment and no treatment) in a nude mouse subcutaneous xenograft model. Subsequently, bioinformatics analysis was used to understand the functions and pathways of the identified mRNAs. Finally, a connectivity map (CMap) analysis was conducted to identify potential therapeutic strategies for residual HB tissues. Compared with the untreated nude mouse subcutaneous xenograft model, in the experimental group, a significant difference in the expression of 740 lncRNAs and 663 mRNAs was detected. Subsequently, bioinformatics analysis revealed that the differentially expressed mRNAs were significantly enriched in pathways associated with antigen processing, the presentation of endogenous antigens, the regulation of cellular metabolic processes, MAPK signaling and cell cycle regulation. Additionally, six compounds (valproic acid, metformin, tanespimycin, wortmannin, fulvestrant and MK‑886) were identified by CMap analysis as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of residual HB tissues. These findings provide a novel insight into the pathogenesis of residual HB and potential therapeutic strategies for aggressive tumor recurrence following RFA treatment in patients with HB.
