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

WTAP is involved in various pathological and physiological processes, but its function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. In this study, we investigated the role of WTAP in HCC. Firstly, the mRNA and protein of WTAP were expressed highly in HCC tissue, which reflected clinicopathological characteristics of HCC patients. Then, an interactive analysis of genetic profiles and Kaplan-Meier curves was performed to show that WTAP was an independent predictor of survival of HCC patients. Meanwhile, genes co-expressed with WTAP, potential protein-protein interactions, related signaling pathways, and immune cell infiltration were identified. It was found that high WTAP expression correlated with enhanced interactions between cytokines and their receptors, cell cycle, and chemokine signaling pathways, as well as increased immune cell infiltration. At last, WTAP knockdown experiments
