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

Sorafenib is the first-line therapeutic option for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Many patients exhibit a primary resistance (PR) response after initial treatment. In previous studies, compared to acquired resistance, the mechanism of PR is unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the response of patient samples to sorafenib by patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, and the differences at the transcriptome level between the sorafenib PR group and the sorafenib sensitive group were analyzed by single-cell sequencing technology. A specific cell cluster may be differentiated by the liver bud hepatic cells, and the JUN transcription factors in this cell cluster were highly activated. The albumin is secreted by other cell clusters, and the cluster stimulates the FcRn complex receptor to activate the HIF pathway and cell proliferation, resulting in a poor response to sorafenib. These findings are validated by both cell communication analysis and experiments. Thus, the current studies provided a novel approach for the treatment of sorafenib-resistant HCC.
