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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumors exhibit high heterogeneity. However, current understanding of tumor cell heterogeneity of HCC and the association with prognosis remains very limited. In the present study, we collected and examined tumor tissue from one HCC patient by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). We identified 5753 cells and 16 clusters including hepatocytes/cancer cells, T cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, NK cells, neutrophils, and B cells. In six tumor cell subclusters, we identified a cluster of proliferative tumor cells associated with poor prognosis. We downloaded scRNA-seq data of GSE125449 from the NCBI-GEO as validation dataset, and found that a cluster of hepatocytes exhibited high proliferation activity in HCC. Furthermore, we identified a gene signature related to the proliferation of HCC cells. This gene signature is efficient to classify HCC patients into two groups with distinct prognosis in both TCGA and ICGC database cohorts. Our results reveal the intratumoral heterogeneity of HCC at single cell level and identify a gene signature associated with HCC prognosis.
