Clinical implications and molecular mechanisms of Cyclin-dependent kinases 4 for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was frequently considered as a kind of malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) 4 was considered to be cell-cycle-related CDK gene. In this study, we explored the clinical significance of CDK4 in HCC patients.
methodsData of HCC patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression model were performed to calculate median survival time (MST) and the hazard ration (HR), respectively. The joint-effect analysis and prognostic risk score model were constructed to demonstrate significance of prognosis-related genes. The differential expression of prognostic genes was further validated using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) of 58 pairs of HCC samples.
resultsCDK1 and CDK4 were considered prognostic genes in TCGA and GSE14520 cohort. The result of joint-effect model indicated patients in CDK1 and CDK4 low expression groups had a better prognosis in TCGA (adjusted HR = 0.491; adjusted P = 0.003) and GSE14520 cohort (adjusted HR = 0.431; adjusted P = 0.002). Regarding Kaplan-Meier analysis, high expression of CDK1 and CDK4 was related to poor prognosis in both the TCGA (P < 0.001 and = 0.001 for CDK1 and CDK4, respectively) and the GSE14520 cohort (P = 0.006 and = 0.033 for CDK1 and CDK4, respectively). However, only CDK4 (P = 0.042) was validated in RT-qPCR experiment, while CDK1 (P = 0.075) was not.
conclusionHCC patients with high CDK4 expression have poor prognosis, and CDK4 could be a potential candidate diagnostic biomarker for HCC.
