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

backgroundThe present study aimed to examine the diagnostic and prognostic value of HN1 in terms of overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in liver cancer and its potential regulatory signaling pathway.

methodsWe obtained clinical data and HN1 RNA-seq expression data of liver cancer patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, and analyzed the differences and clinical association of HN1 expression in different clinical features. We uesd receiver-operating characteristic curve to evaluate the diagnosis capability of HN1. We analyzed and evaluated the prognostic significance of HN1 by Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox analysis. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was used to identify signaling pathways related to HN1 expression.

resultsHN1 mRNA was up-regulated in liver cancer, and was associated with age, histologic grade, stage, T classification, M classification, and vital status. HN1 mRNA had ideal specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis (AUC = 0.855). Besides, the analysis of Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox model showed that HN1 mRNA was strongly associated with the overall survival and could be well-predicted liver cancer prognosis, as an independent prognostic variable. GSEA analysis identified three signaling pathways that were enriched in the presence of high HN1 expression.

conclusionHN1 serves as a biomarker of diagnosis and prognosis in liver cancer.
