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

objectiveCircular RNA_0004913 (circ_0004913), circular RNA_0008160 (circ_0008160), and circular RNA_0000517 (circ_0000517) are shown to be dysregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines, and also show potential in regulating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) pathogenesis. This current study attempted to find possible associations of circ_0004913, circ_0008160, and circ_0000517 with clinical features and prognosis of HCC patients.

methodsA hundred and fifty HCC patients who received hepatectomy were retrospectively reviewed, and their resected specimens including tumor tissues and paired adjacent tissues were obtained, in which the circ_0004913, circ_0008160, and circ_0000517 expressions were detected. Overall survival (OS) data were collected according to the clinical visit records.

resultsCirc_0004913 (p < 0.001) and circ_0008160 (p < 0.001) were downregulated, while circ_0000517 (p < 0.001) was upregulated in tumor tissue compared with paired adjacent tissue. Additionally, tumor circ_0004913 was negatively associated with largest tumor size (p = 0.009) and Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) stage (p = 0.020), while tumor circ_0008160 and circ_0000517 were not correlated with any clinicopathological features of HCC patients (all p > 0.05). Tumor circ_0004913 high expression was associated with prolonged OS in total HCC patients (p = 0.008) and in subgroup of patients with largest tumor size <5 cm (p = 0.008). Tumor circ_0008160 high expression was correlated with longer OS in patients with BCLC stage B (p = 0.026). Univariate Cox's analysis disclosed that tumor circ_0004913 high expression was correlated with longer OS; while after adjustment by multivariate Cox's analysis, it failed to predict OS independently.

conclusionCirc_0004913 was downregulated in tumor tissue and may serve as a biomarker for evaluating disease severity and prognosis in HCC patients.
