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: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is highly aggressive with a poor prognosis and survival rate. Certain ANGPTL members have been implicated in tumor progression. However, the relevance of the ANGPTL gene family to HCC remains poorly understood. In this study, we explored the role of ANGPTLs in the prognosis of HCC. Methods: From the CCLE database, we studied the expression of ANGPTLs in a range of cancer cell lines. The UCSC, HCCDB, and Human Protein Atlas databases were used to analyze the differences in mRNA and protein expression of ANGPTLs in HCC tissues. Additionally, the correlation between ANGPTL mRNA and methylation levels and clinicopathological features were assessed in the TCGA database. The correlation between ANGPTL mRNA and overall survival was determined by the Kaplan-Meier plotter. cBioPortal database was used to analyze ANGPTL genomic alterations. Genes associated with ANGPTLs were determined by enrichment with KEGG. Moreover, the differentially expressed genes of ANGPTLs were analyzed by the LinkedOmics database, and the KEGG pathway and miRNA targets of ANGPTLs were also enriched. Results: There was a significant correlation between the ANGPTL members (excluding ANGPTL2) and the prognosis of HCC patients according to the Kaplan-Meier plotter analysis ( Conclusion: In summary, the expression of some members of ANGPTLs was significantly correlated with HCC prognosis, suggesting that the ANGPTL gene family members may be promising molecular markers for HCC treatment and prognosis.
