Identification of potential biomarkers for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

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.
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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high mortality rate owing to its complexity. Identification of abnormally expressed genes in HCC tissues compared to those in normal liver tissues is a viable strategy for investigating the mechanisms of HCC tumorigenesis and progression as a means of developing novel treatments. A significant advantage of the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is that the data therein were collected from different independent researchers and may be integrated, allowing for a more robust data analysis. Accordingly, in the present study, the gene expression profiles for HCC and control samples were downloaded from the GEO and TCGA. Functional enrichment analysis was performed using a Metascape dataset, and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/proteins (STRING) online database. The prognostic value of mRNA for HCC was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier Plotter, a public online tool. A gene mRNA heatmap and DNA amplification numbers were obtained from cBioPortal. A total of 2,553 upregulated genes were identified. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that these differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly accumulated in metabolism of RNA and the cell cycle. Considering the complexity and heterogeneity of the molecular alterations in HCC, multiple genes for the prognostication of patients with HCC are more reliable than a single gene. Thus, the PPI network and univariate Cox regression analysis were applied to screen candidate genes (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide B and B1, nucleoporin 37, Rac GTPase activating protein 1, kinesin family member 20A, minichromosome maintenance 10 replication initiation factor, ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 C and hyaluronan mediated motility receptor) that are associated with the overall survival and progression-free survival of patients with HCC. In conclusion, the present study identified a set of genes that are associated with overall survival and progression-free survival of patients with HCC, providing valuable information for the prognosis of HCC.
