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) is an aggressive malignancy. Previous studies have found that lamin B1 (LMNB1) contributes to the development of human cancers. However, the biological functions and prognostic values of LMNB1 in HCC have not been adequately elucidated. In our present research, the expression pattern of LMNB1 was analyzed. The prognostic values of LMNB1 were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. The effects of LMNB1 on HCC progression were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, wound healing, Transwell and in vivo xenograft assays. The mechanisms of LMNB1 in HCC progression were elucidated by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and loss-of-function assays. Besides, a nomogram for predicting overall survival (OS) was constructed. The results demonstrated that LMNB1 was overexpressed in HCC and that increased LMNB1 expression predicted a dismal prognosis. Further experiments showed that LMNB1 facilitated cell proliferation and metastasis in HCC. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that LMNB1 modulated metastasis-associated biological functions such as focal adhesion, extracellular matrix, cell junctions and cell adhesion. Mechanistically, we revealed that LMNB1 promoted HCC progression by regulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. Moreover, incorporating LMNB1, Ki67 and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage into a nomogram showed better predictive accuracy than the Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) stage and BCLC stage. In conclusion, LMNB1 may serve as an effective therapeutic target as well as a reliable prognostic biomarker for HCC.
