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

backgroundRibosomal protein S11 (RPS11), a member of ribosomal protein family, is reported to overexpress in diverse malignancies and correlates with tumor recurrence. However, our current knowledge on RPS11 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains limited. In this study, we are going to explore the potential prognostic value of RPS11 in HCC patients after curative resection.

methodsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to evaluate RPS11 expression on tissue microarrays in training cohort comprising 182 HCC patients and validation cohort enrolling 90 HCC patients in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. Western blot and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) were also used to determine the expression level of RPS11 in liver cell lines. Two nomograms, calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) were further performed to assess the performance of RPS11 level in predicting clinical outcomes of HCC patients. Additionally, single-sample gene-set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was conducted in TCGA liver cancer database to investigate the potential biological pathways involved in RPS11.

resultsBoth increased mRNA and protein levels of RPS11 were observed in most HCC cell lines when compared to the normal hepatocytes, and high tumor RPS11 level was associated with shorter overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) of HCC patients after curative resection. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicated that RPS11 was an independent prognostic factor in HCC. Two nomograms, calibration and DCA curves were further established and displayed a superior prognostic accuracy of OS and RFS, and showed more clinical benefits than traditional staging systems in HCC. Furthermore, several pathways and molecules related to tumor resistance, survival and recurrence were enriched in high RPS11 expression by ssGSEA.

conclusionsTumorous RPS11 acts as a potential prognostic biomarker for HCC patients who received curative resection.
