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

This integrated bioinformatic study aimed to investigate potential prognostic candidates in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the GSE14520, GSE101685, and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and functional pathways of common DEGs were enriched. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) model was used to screen the potential parameters associated with overall survival (OS) in HCC patients. Metabolic pathways were the most significantly enriched functional pathways of common DEGs in these three datasets. After LASSO model analysis, HMGCS2, UGP2, BCLC staging and TNM staging were screened as potential prognostic candidates for OS in HCC patients in GSE14520. HMGCS2 in the metabolic pathway was significantly downregulated in tumor tissues and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in HCC patients (all
