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

backgroundEvidence from prevailing studies show that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the top cancers with high mortality globally. Gene regulation at post-transcriptional level orchestrated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is an important mechanism that modifies various biological behaviors of HCC. Currently, it is not fully understood how RBPs affects the prognosis of HCC. In this study, we aimed to construct and validate an RBP-related model to predict the prognosis of HCC patients.

methodsDifferently expressed RBPs were identified in HCC patients based on the GSE54236 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Integrative bioinformatics analyses were performed to select hub genes. Gene expression patterns were validated in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, after which univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, as well as Kaplan-Meier analysis were performed to develop a prognostic model. Then, the performance of the prognostic model was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and clinicopathological correlation analysis. Moreover, data from the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) database were used for external validation. Finally, a nomogram combining clinicopathological parameters and prognostic model was established for the individual prediction of survival probability.

resultsThe prognostic risk model was finally constructed based on two RBPs (BOP1 and EZH2), facilitating risk-stratification of HCC patients. Survival was markedly higher in the low-risk group relative to the high-risk group. Moreover, higher risk score was associated with advanced pathological grade and late clinical stage. Besides, the risk score was found to be an independent prognosis factor based on multivariate analysis. Nomogram including the risk score and clinical stage proved to perform better in predicting patient prognosis.

conclusionsThe RBP-related prognostic model established in this study may function as a prognostic indicator for HCC, which could provide evidence for clinical decision making.
