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 dysregulation of autophagy and immunological processes has been linked to various pathophysiological conditions, including cancer. Most notably, their particular involvement in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is becoming increasingly evident. This has led to the possibility of developing a prognostic signature based on immuno-autophagy-related (IAR) genes. Given that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) also play a special role in HCC, a combined signature utilizing IAR genes and HCC-associated long noncoding RNAs (as IARlncRNA) may potentially help in the clinical scenario.

methodWe used Pearson correlation analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival curves, univariate and multivariate Cox regression, and ROC curves to generate and validate a prognostic immuno-autophagy-related long non-coding RNA (IARlncRNA) signature. The Chi-squared test was utilized to investigate the correlation between the obtained signature and the clinical characteristics. CIBERSORT algorithms and the Wilcoxon rank sum test were applied to investigate the correlation between signature and infiltrating immune cells. GO and KEGG analyses were performed to derived signature-dependent pathways.

resultsHerein, we build an IAR-lncRNA signature (as first in the literature) and demonstrate its prognostic ability in hepatocellular carcinoma. Primarily, we identified three IARlncRNAs (MIR210HG, AC099850.3 and CYTOR) as unfavorable prognostic determinants. The obtained signature predicted the high-risk HCC group with shorter overall survival, and was further associated with clinical characteristics such as tumor grade (t = 10.918,

conclusionsThe immuno-autophagy-related long non-coding RNA (IARlncRNA) signature we established exhibits a prognostic ability in hepatocellular carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt in the literature to combine three determinants (immune, autophagy and LnRNAs), thus requiring molecular validation of this obtained signature in clinical samples.
