Autoantibody to GNAS in Early Detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Large-Scale Sample Study Combined with Verification in Serial Sera from HCC Patients.

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
The aim of this study was to explore the value of autoantibody to GNAS in the early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In a large-scale sample set of 912 participants (228 cases in each of HCC, liver cirrhosis (LC), chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and normal controls (NCs) groups), autoantibody to GNAS was detected with a positive result in 47.8% of HCC patients, which was significantly higher than that in patients with LC (35.1%), CHB (19.7%), and NCs (19.7%). Further analysis showed that the frequency of autoantibody to GNAS started increasing in compensated cirrhosis patients (37.0%) with a jump in decompensated cirrhosis patients (53.2%) and reached a peak in early HCC patients (62.4%). The increasing autoantibody response to GNAS in patients at different stages was closely associated with the progression of chronic liver lesions. The result from 44 human serial sera demonstrated that 5 of 11 (45.5%) HCC patients had elevated autoantibody to GNAS before and/or at diagnosis of HCC. Moreover, 46.1% and 62.4% of high positive rates in alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) negative and early-stage HCC patients can supplement AFP in early detection of HCC. These findings suggest that autoantibody to GNAS could be used as a potential biomarker for the early detection of HCC.
