Prognostic and diagnostic value of SOX9 in cirrhotic and noncirrhotic 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
backgroundThis study was designed to explore the prognostic and diagnostic value of Sex-Determining Region Y-Box 9 (SOX9) in cirrhotic hepatocellular carcinoma HCC (CHCC) and noncirrhotic hepatocellular carcinoma (NCHCC).
methodsSOX9 tissue expression was detected using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and our cohort. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze differences in survival between high/low SOX9 expression groups. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to identify independent risk factors associated with overall survival (OS). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were utilized for evaluation of the diagnostic efficacy of SOX9.
resultsSOX9 was found to exhibit differential expression between HCC and adjacent normal tissues but not between CHCC and NCHCC, which was confirmed by RNA sequencing, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate analysis revealed that high SOX9 expression was closely related to the OS in NCHCC but not that in CHCC. In CHCC and NCHCC, SOX9 expression was positively associated with serum α-fetoprotein levels. The AUC of SOX9 in differentiating HCC and adjacent normal tissues in CHCC and NCHCC was 0.77 and 0.78, respectively, and no significant difference was found between them.
conclusionsHigh SOX9 expression may aid prognostic evaluation in NCHCC but not in CHCC. SOX9 expression was not different between CHCC and NCHCC, but it has reliable and comparable diagnostic value in both CHCC and NCHCC.
