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

We aimed to identify a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-specific gene set during progression. Using the HCC data set from The Cancer Genome Atlas, we found that 10 genes were gradually upregulated with the progression of HCC and associated with survival, classified as HCC-unfavorable genes; 29 genes were gradually downregulated and associated with survival, classified as HCC-favorable genes. Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) was used to score individual samples against the two gene sets. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that both the HCC-unfavorable GSVA score and HCC-favorable GSVA score were reliable biomarkers for diagnosing HCC. Moreover, tROC curve analysis and univariate/multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses indicated that the HCC-unfavorable GSVA score was an independent prognostic biomarker. The results were validated in an external independent data set. Our results support a ten-gene set variation score as a diagnostic and predictive strategy tool in HCC.
