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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsThe prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is extremely poor; therefore, there is an urgent need for novel prognostic molecular biomarkers of HCC. The current investigation utilized circular (circ)RNA-associated competing endogenous (ce)RNAs analysis in order to identify significant prognostic biomarkers of HCC.

methodsCircRNAs and mRNAs that were differentially expressed between normal and HCC tissues were identified. Their respective functions were predicted with Gene Ontology enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses. A nomogram was used for model verification.

resultsA ceRNA network composed of differentially expressed circRNAs and mRNAs was constructed. Significant hub nodes in the ceRNA network were hsa_circ_0004662, hsa_circ_0005735, hsa_circ_0006990, hsa_circ_0018403 and hsa_circ_0100609. By using this information, a prognostic risk assessment tool was developed based on the expressions of seven genes (PLOD2, TARS, RNF19B, CCT2, RAN, C5orf30 and MCM10). Furthermore, multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed risk and T-stage parameters as independent prognostic factors. The nomograms that were constructed from risk and T-stage groups were used to further assess the prediction of HCC patient survival rates. The nomogram, which consisted of risk and T-stage scores assessment models, was found to be an independent factor for predicting prognosis of HCC.

conclusionsFive circRNAs, including hsa_circ_0004662, hsa_circ_0005735, hsa_circ_0006990, hsa_circ_0018403 and hsa_circ_0100609, that may play key roles in the progression of HCC were identified. Seven gene signatures were identified, which were associated with the aforementioned circRNAs, including PLOD2, TARS, RNF19B, CCT2, RAN, C5orf30 and MCM10, all of which were significant genes involved in the pathophysiology of HCC. These genes may be used as a prognosticating tool in HCC patients.
