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

backgroundTo identify potential key genes predicting unfavorable prognosis in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsGene expression profiles of GSE121248, GSE62232, and GSE55092 from the GEO database were obtained and analyzed. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between HBV-associated HCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were screened by the limma package and Venn diagram software. Functional assessment of DEGs was performed by Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Hub genes were selected by the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and further validated by GSE14520 clinical data.

resultsA total of 26 up-regulated genes and 76 down-regulated genes were identified by analyzing three databases. GO and KEGG analysis demonstrated that these genes were involved in cell division, metabolism-related biological processes, the p53 pathway, and the cell cycle, among others. PPI network suggested that 14 hub DEGs (
