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

Objective: So far there are still no effective immediate-early markers for assessing the efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). To find effective biomarkers for accurate assessment of the efficacy of SBRT in patients with primary liver cancer, we conducted this study including retrospective part and prospective part. Material and Methods: 589 patients with primary liver cancer were included at Ruikang Hospital affiliated to Guangxi Medical University from January 2012 to December 2018. Follow-up was conducted, clinical information and a total of 17 patients with 51 blood samples (before SBRT, before discharge and 2 months after SBRT) were collected. mRNAs profiles on 2 patients with 6 blood samples were detected by high-throughput sequencing, followed by qPCR verification on 15 patients with 45 blood samples. Results: The commonly used serum biomarkers such as AFP, CEA, and CA125 shown low prognostic value in distinguishing survival group and death group, indicated by low AUC (less than .7) and Youden indexes (less than .5). Based on high-throughput sequencing of test group and qPCR detection of another verification group, we found 16 up-regulated and 12 downregulated genes after SBRT. Among them, ADIPOR1 and EPB42 showed significantly different between effective and ineffective group after SBRT, ROC suggested that based on the optimal threshold of .5838, ADIPOR1 shown a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 83.33% to distinguish effective from ineffective group. And EPB42 had a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 100% at the optimal threshold of 1.3817. In addition, GSEA showed that high expression of ADIPOR1 was mainly related to Mismatch repair, Circadian rhythm, Protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, DNA replication, and Fanconi anemia pathways. Conclusion: ADIPOR1 in whole blood is a promising candidate to act as prognostic biomarker for predication of SBRT outcomes in primary liver cancer patients.
