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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common malignant disease worldwide. Although the diagnosis and treatment of HCC have greatly improved in the recent years, there is still a lack of accurate methods to predict the prognosis of patients. Evidence has shown that Hippo signaling in tissues adjacent to HCC plays a significant role in HCC development. In the present study, we aimed to construct a model based on the expression of Hippo-related genes (HRGs) in tissues adjacent to HCC to predict the prognosis of HCC patients.

methodsGene expression data of paired normal tissues adjacent to HCC (PNTAH) and clinical information were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. The HRG signature was constructed using four canonical Hippo-related pathways. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to screen survival-related HRGs. LASSO and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to construct the prognostic model. The true and false positive rates of the model were confirmed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.

resultsThe prognostic model was constructed based on the expression levels of five HRGs (NF2, MYC, BIRC3, CSNK1E, and MINK1) in PNTAH. The mortality rate of HCC patients increased as the risk score determined by the model increased. Furthermore, the risk score was found to be an independent risk factor for the survival of patients. ROC analysis showed that the prognostic model had a better predictive value than the other conventional clinical parameters. Moreover, the reliability of the prognostic model was confirmed in TCGA-LIHC cohort. A nomogram was generated to predict patient survival. An exploration of the predictive value of the model in HCC tissues indicated that the model is PNTAH-specific.

conclusionsWe developed and validated a prognostic model based on the expression levels of five HRGs in PNTAH, and this model should be helpful in predicting the prognosis of patients with HCC.
