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

High recurrence rate in HCC is the primary cause of the poor prognosis after hepatectomy. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to construct a gene signature for predicting the recurrence rate in HCC. The mRNA expression profiles and clinical information of HCC patients from GEO and TCGA databases were used, and ferroptosis-related gene list was obtained from the FerrDb database. We identified 39 ferroptosis-related genes (FDEGs) that were differentially expressed between HCC samples and normal tissues from the GSE14520 dataset. The univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were employed to construct a prognostic signature. Seven FDEGs (MAPK9, SLC1A4, PCK2, ACSL3, STMN1, CDO1, and CXCL2) were included to construct a risk model, which was validated in the TCGA dataset. Patients in high-risk groups exhibited a significantly poor prognosis compared with patients in low-risk groups in both the training set (GSE14520 cohort) and the validation set (TCGA cohort). Multivariate cox regression analyses demonstrated that the 7-gene signature was an independent risk factor for RFS in HCC patients. KEGG analysis showed that FDEGs were mainly enriched in Ferroptosis, Hepatocellular carcinoma pathway, and MAPK signaling pathway. GSEA analysis suggested that the high-risk group was correlated with multiple oncogenic signatures and invasive-related pathways. These results indicated that this risk model can accurately predict recurrence after hepatectomy and offer novel research directions for personalized treatment in HCC patients.
