MicroRNA polymorphism: A target for diagnosis and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma?
Review in Oncology letters, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a life-threatening cancer of the digestive system, with complex pathogenesis affected by a broad spectrum of genetic and epigenetic factors. Among several factors, microRNAs (miRNAs), which are considered regulators of the post-transcriptional gene expression, play important roles in determining the malignant phenotype of HCC. In recent years, the advances in molecular genetics have resulted in the characterization of complex genetic factors and in the identification of epigenetic mechanisms of diseases. Accumulating data have suggested that miRNA polymorphisms are involved in tumorigenesis and prognosis, suggesting that the miRNAs may serve as a target for HCC with regard to pathogenesis and prognosis. In the present review, a comprehensive and detailed literature search was conducted and the role of miRNA polymorphisms in the pathogenesis and prognosis of HCC is summarized. The data proposed the use of miRNAs as targets for the diagnosis and treatment of HCC.
