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

objectivesIn this study, we comprehensively analysed the role of ubiquitin-specific protease 1(USP1) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using data from a set of public databases. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe analysed the mRNA expression of USP1 in HCC and subgroups of HCC using Oncomine and UALCAN. Survival analysis of USP1 in HCC was conducted with the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database. The mutations of USP1 in HCC were analysed using cBioPortal and the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer database. Differential genes correlated with USP1 and WD repeat domain 48 (WDR48) were obtained using LinkedOmics. USP1 was knocked down with small interfering RNA (siRNA) or pharmacologically inhibited by ML-323 in MHCC97H or SK-Hep-1 cell lines for function analysis.

resultsHigh USP1 expression predicted unfavourable overall survival in HCC patients. USP1 showed positive correlations with the abundances of macrophages and neutrophils. We identified 98 differential genes that were positively correlated with both USP1 and WDR48. These genes were mainly involved in the cell cycle, aldosterone synthesis and secretion and oestrogen signalling pathways. Interactions between USP1 and WDR 48 were confirmed using co-immunoprecipitation. USP1 knockdown or ML-323 treatment reduced the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), cyclin D1 and cyclin E1.

conclusionsOverall, USP1 is a promising target for HCC treatment with good prognostic value. USP1 and WDR48 function together in regulating cancer cell proliferation via the cell cycle.
