The association between genomic variations and histological grade in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundHistological grade (HG) is an important prognostic factor for hepatocellular carcinoma. With the development of precision medicine, diagnosis with a sequencing technology has become increasingly accepted. It is vital to discuss their similarities and differences to bridge or improve the traditional HG diagnosis with the novel sequencing technique.
methodsA total of 658 tumor samples were collected from 602 Chinese hepatocellular carcinoma patients and sequenced for a panel of pan-cancer genes. Nucleotide usage bias, genomic variation-related scores, driver genes, and biological processes were compared among different HGs. These results were further verified using a cohort dataset from the Western population.
resultsGenomic variation subtypes, such as C>G substitution, maximum somatic allele frequency (MSAF), and
conclusionsThe association identified between genomic variation and HG could aid our understanding of HG as an important clinical measure, and potentially be used to predict HG for hepatocellular carcinoma.
