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

aimsLysine acetyltransferase 6B (KAT6B), is a histone acetyltransferase implicated to have a role in tumor suppression. However, the relationship between KAT6B and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unclear. The purpose of this study was to detect the expression of KAT6B in HCC tissues and analyze its connection with the clinicopathological features of HCC.

methodsFirst, we performed immunohistochemical staining on 250 HCC tissues and 222 non-tumor liver tissues to examine the expression of KAT6B.Then the relation between KAT6B expression and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed by chi-square test, and the overall survival analysis was conducted by Kaplan-Meier survival method. In addition, based on the Oncomine expression array online and the UALCAN database, we compared KAT6B expression differences between normal liver tissues and HCC tissues more broadly.

resultsCompared with normal tissues, KAT6B expression was significantly lower in HCC tissues. Low KAT6B expression was found to be related to gender, AFP level, and tumor size. According to the online database, KAT6B expression was found to be decreased in HCC tissues and high in normal tissues.

conclusionsLower expression of KAT6B is associated with poor prognosis of HCC, and KAT6B may be a potential tumor suppressor in liver cancer.
