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

The roles of ubiquitin-related genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to systematically examine ubiquitin-related genes and identify subtypes and stratify prognosis of HCC by using ubiquitin-related signatures. Survival, biological processes, tumor microenvironment (TME), and genomic alterations of the HCC subtypes were investigated. Patients with HCC were classified into two subtypes (clusters 1 and 2) with distinct survival outcomes, pathways, and genomic alterations. Cluster 2 had better prognosis than did cluster 1. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, Janus tyrosine kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway, and natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity were enriched in cluster 1. Moreover, cluster 2 had a higher immune score and immune cell infiltrations, whereas cluster 1 had a lower immune score and immune infiltrations. Additionally, mutations, amplifications, and deletions among the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT, p53, and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-RAS pathways more frequently occurred in cluster 1, while those among the Hippo, MYC, and Notch signaling pathways were found in cluster 2. Finally, a prognostic signature, consisting of eight ubiquitin-related genes, was established and validated. In brief, our study established a new classification and developed a prognostic signature for HCC.
