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

objectiveThis study was performed to investigate the relationship among UHRF1 expression, its biological function and immune infiltration in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsGene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), Oncomine, and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases were used to analyze UHRF1 expression between HCC and normal tissues. Subsequently, GEPIA, TCGA-Portal, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, Protein Atlas and SurvExpress databases were utilized for survival analysis. UHRF1 co-expression genes were identified via the cBioPortal and LinkedOmics databases. Further, gene ontology (GO) analysis as well as Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were performed. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks was constructed by STRING database and Cytoscape 3.7.1. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) and CIBERSORT algorithm were employed to assess the correlation between UHRF1 and tumor immune infiltrates on TCGA database. TIMER 2.0 database was used to explore the correlation of UHRF1 expression and immune infiltration level in HCC. Additionally, RT-qPCR was used to analyze the expression of UHRF1 and the relative genes in HCC cell lines.

resultsExpression level of UHRF1 was upregulated in HCC tissues compared with paired normal tissues (P < 0.05 in GEPIA; P = 1.78E

conclusionUHRF1 might function as an oncogene via inducing dysregulated immune infiltration in HCC and was identified as a novel prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for HCC.
