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

T-complex protein-1 ring complex (TRiC), also known as Chaperonin Containing T-complex protein-1 (CCT), is a multisubunit chaperonin required for the folding of nascent proteins. Mounting evidence suggests that TRiC also contributes to the development and progression of tumors, but there are limited studies on pathogenic functions in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We comprehensively evaluated the expression pattern and biological functions of TRiC subunits using The Cancer Genome Atlas and The Human Protein Atlas. Expression levels of TRiC subunits TCP1, CCT2/3/4/5/6A/7/8 were significantly upregulated in HCC tissues at both transcript and protein levels, which predicted shorter overall survival (OS). Moreover, high mutation rates were found in several CCT subunits, and patients with altered CCT genes exhibited poorer clinical outcomes. Functional enrichment analysis showed that co-regulated genes were preferentially involved in 'protein folding' and 'microtubule-based process', while genes co-expressed with CCT subunits were primarily involved in 'ribosome' and 'spliceosome'. Knockout of CCT5 in a HCC cell line reduced while overexpression enhanced proliferation rate, cycle transition, migration, and invasion. In conclusion, these findings suggest that subunits of the TRiC may be potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of HCC and play an important role in the occurrence and development of HCC.
