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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveLiver cancer is a malignancy with a poor prognosis. G protein signaling modulator 2 is mainly related to cell division and cell cycle regulation. In this review, the relationship between G protein signaling modulator 2 and clinical characteristics of patients with liver cancer has been explored, especially with respect to its prognostic value.

methodsG protein signaling modulator 2 messenger RNA expression and clinicopathological characteristics of patients with liver cancer were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The expression level of G protein signaling modulator 2 RNA-Seq was validated by using Gene Expression Omnibus. Chi-square test was performed to evaluate the relationship between G protein signaling modulator 2 expression and clinical characteristics. The threshold value of G protein signaling modulator 2 in the diagnosis of liver cancer was evaluated by a receiver-operating characteristic curve. Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves were performed to evaluate the relationship between G protein signaling modulator 2 and liver cancer prognosis, which included overall and residual-free survival, and explored the prognostic value of G protein signaling modulator 2. Liver cancer survival analyses were validated by using the data of G protein signaling modulator 2 RNA-Seq from the International Cancer Genome Consortium.

resultsThe expression level of G protein signaling modulator 2 messenger RNA was remarkably higher in liver cancer than that in healthy tissues (

conclusionsG protein signaling modulator 2 messenger RNA was overexpressed in liver cancer, and G protein signaling modulator 2 is an independent prognostic factor. G protein signaling modulator 2 is expected to be a treatment target for cancer.
