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

backgroundNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming a critical risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). As both NAFLD and HCC are heterogeneous diseases, this study aims to identify the similarity between the subtypes of NAFLD and HCC based on gene modules.

methodsCoexpressed gene modules were extracted for both NAFLD and HCC. The association between the coexpressed gene modules of NAFLD and HCC was evaluated by Fisher's exact test. The overlapping coexpressed gene module was validated in three independent human NAFLD datasets. Furthermore, the preserved gene module was assessed in four independent NAFLD mouse datasets. The significantly enriched motifs within the gene module were inferred from upstream sequences.

resultsFour coexpressed gene modules were extracted from NAFLD. Of the four coexpressed gene modules, one was significantly overlapping with a module of HCC. This overlapping gene module was regarded as the HCC-associated NAFLD gene module (HANM). Enrichment analysis of biological processes revealed inflammatory response in HANM. Specifically, within the inflammatory response biological process, IL-17, TNF-

conclusionThis study demonstrated a robust way to identify the sharing gene signature between subtypes of NAFLD and HCC, which contributed to a comprehensive understanding of pathogenesis from NAFLD to HCC.
