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

objectiveThis study aimed to identify the novel prognostic gene signature based on autophagy-associated genes (ARGs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsThe RNA sequencing data and clinical information of HCC and normal tissues were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The differentially expressed ARGs were screened by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Cox regression analysis and Lasso regression analysis were performed to screen the ARGs and establish the prognostic prediction model. Kaplan-Meier and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were both used to evaluate the accuracy of the model. GSE14520 dataset (testing cohort) was used to validate the prognostic risk model in TCGA. A clinical nomogram was established to predict the survival rate of HCC patients.

resultsTotally 27 differentially expressed ARGs were identified. Three OS-related ARGs (SQSTM1, HSPB8, and BIRC5) were identified via the Cox regression and Lasso regression analyses. Based on these three ARGs, a prognostic prediction model was constructed. HCC patients with high risk score present poorer prognosis than those with low risk score both in TCGA cohort (P=4.478e-04) and testing cohort (P=1.274e-03). Moreover, the risk score curve shows a well feasibility in predicting the patients' survival both in TCGA and GEO cohort with the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.756 and 0.672, respectively. Besides, the calibration curves and C-index indicated that the clinical nomogram performs well to predict survival rate in HCC patients.

conclusionsThe survival model based on the ARGs may be a promising tool to predict the prognosis in HCC patients.
