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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and its incidence is obviously increasing. The NT5DC family has been shown to be involved in the progression of many tumors. However, the biological function of NT5DC family members in HCC is still not well understood.

methodsOncomine, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), UALCAN, Kaplan-Meier plotter, cBioPortal, GeneMANIA, Metascape, and TIMER were applied to assess the biological function of NT5DC family members in HCC.

resultsMost of the NT5DC family members were highly expressed in HCC. High expression of NT5C2, NT5DC2, and NT5DC3 was closely associated with higher tumor stage and poor overall survival (OS). In addition, high NT5DC2 and NT5DC3 expression also predicted poor disease-free survival (DFS). Enrichment analysis revealed that the NT5DC family in HCC mainly involved the IMP metabolic process, purine ribonucleoside monophosphate metabolic process, and purine nucleoside monophosphate metabolic process. The expression of NT5DC family members was closely related to the infiltration of some immune cells, such as B cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells.

conclusionOur findings provided new insights into the biological function and prognostic value of NT5DC family members in HCC.
