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.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway-related genes-
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 46 patients who underwent liver transplantation for HCC and performed next generation sequencing to analyze the relationship between the efficacy of sirolimus after liver transplantation for HCC and mutations in mTOR pathway-related genes, especially tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) mutations.
resultsThe average age of 46 patients with liver transplantation for HCC was 51±21 years. After surgery, 35 patients received an anti-rejection/anti-tumor regimen that included sirolimus, and 11 patients did not receive sirolimus. There was no significant difference in survival rate between the two groups (P=0.761). The gene sequencing results showed mTOR-related pathway mutations in 10 patients, of whom five (10.9%) had TSC1/2 mutations. Of the 35 patients using sirolimus, those with mTOR-related mutations had significantly better survival rates than patients without mTOR-related mutations (P=0.016).
conclusionsAccording to genetic sequencing results, a personalized treatment plan for specific genetic mutations should be selected in patients undergoing liver transplantation for HCC. Patients with mTOR-related gene mutations, especially TSC mutations, can gain significant benefits from the use of mTOR inhibitors such as sirolimus.
