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 third leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world.

methodWe downloaded the mRNA profiles and clinical information of 371 HCC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The consensus clustering analysis with the mRNA levels of 48 nuclear receptors (NRs) was performed by the "ConsensusClusterPlus." The univariate Cox regression analysis was performed to predict the prognostic significance of NRs on HCC. The risk score was calculated by the prognostic model constructed based on eight optimal NRs. Then multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to determine whether the risk score is an independent prognostic signature. Finally, the nomogram based on multiple independent prognostic factors was used to predict the long-term survival of HCC patients.

resultsThe prognostic model constructed based on the eight optimal NRs (NR1H3, ESR1, NR1I2, NR2C1, NR6A1, PPARD, PPARG, and VDR) could effectively predict the prognosis of HCC patients as an independent prognostic signature. Moreover, the nomogram was constructed based on multiple independent prognostic factors including risk score and tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage and could better predict the long-term survival for 3- and 5-year of HCC patients.

conclusionOur results provided novel evidences that NRs could act as the potential prognostic signatures for HCC patients.
