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

As liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) has high morbidity and mortality rates, improving the clinical diagnosis and treatment of LIHC is an important issue. The advent of the era of precision medicine provides us with new opportunities to cure cancers, including the accumulation of multi-omics data of cancers. Here, we proposed an integration method that involved the Fisher ratio, Spearman correlation coefficient, classified information index, and an ensemble of decision trees (DTs) for biomarker identification based on an unbalanced dataset of LIHC. Then, we obtained 34 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The ability of the 34 DEGs to discriminate tumor samples from normal samples was evaluated by classification, and a high area under the curve (AUC) was achieved in our studied dataset and in two external validation datasets (AUC = 0.997, 0.973, and 0.949, respectively). Additionally, we also found three subtypes of LIHC, and revealed different biological mechanisms behind the three subtypes. Mutation enrichment analysis showed that subtype 3 had many enriched mutations, including tumor protein p53 (TP53) mutations. Overall, our study suggested that the 34 DEGs could serve as diagnostic biomarkers, and the three subtypes could help with precise treatment for LIHC.
