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

backgroundWith the advancement of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment technology, the treatment options for HCC patients have increased. However, due to high heterogeneity, among other reasons, the five-year survival rate of patients is still very low. Currently, gene expression prognostic models can suggest more appropriate strategies for the treatment of HCC. This study investigates the role of FAT10 in hepatocarcinogenesis and its underlying mechanism.

methodsThe expression of FAT10 was detected by immunohistochemical method using tissue arrays containing 4 specimens of patients with digestive cancer. The expression of FAT10 was determined by a tissue microarray which included 286 pairs of HCC samples and corresponding normal mucosae and was further confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blot. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to determine the correlation of FAT10 expression with patients' recurrence and overall survival (OS) rate. In vivo, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and HCC models were established to assess the FAT10 expression. Moreover, FAT10 over-expressing cell lines were used to determine the molecular mechanism underlying the FAT10-induced cell proliferation and hepatocarcinogenesis by reporter gene measure, real-time PCR, and western blot. Based on TCGA database, signal pathways associated with FAT10 and HCC invasion and metastasis were analyzed by KEGG enrichment analyze.

resultsOverexpression of FAT10 in HCC was observed in this study compared with its expression in other digestive tumors. Clinicopathological analysis revealed that FAT10 expression levels were closely associated with tumor diameters and poor prognosis of HCC. This study also confirmed through

conclusionsFAT10 may act as a proto-oncogene that facilitates HCC carcinogenesis by mediating p53 degradation, and the expression of FAT10 is negatively correlated with the prognosis of HCC patients. FAT10 is expected to become a potential combined target and prognostic warning marker for HCC treatment.
