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

backgroundThe N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays an important role in epigenetic modification and tumor progression, but the modulations of m6A in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not been determined while the relationship between m6A regulation and immune cell infiltration remains unclear.

methodsThis study investigated the modification patterns of m6A by analyzing HCC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset, and performed molecular typing based on the characteristics of immune cell infiltration. The m6Ascore was also constructed to quantify m6A modifications and predict the immunotherapy response and prognosis of HCC patients.

resultsOf the 364 samples, 31 (8.52%) were genetically altered in the m6A regulatory gene, with the highest frequency of mutations in

conclusionsHCC has a unique m6A modification pattern, and 3 different m6A subtypes help to classify HCC, provide knowledge of drug regimens for immunotherapy, and can be used to predict treatment response and prognosis.
