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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignant tumor that accounts for approximately 90% of all cases of primary liver cancer worldwide. Microtubule alterations may contribute to the broad spectrum of resistance to chemotherapy, tumor development, and cell survival. This study aimed to assess the value of ribonucleic acid export 1 (RAE1), as a regulator of microtubules, in the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC, and to analyze its correlation with genetic mutations and pathways in HCC.

resultsThe mRNA and protein levels of RAE1 were significantly elevated in HCC tissues compared with those in normal tissues. The high expression level of RAE1 was correlated with T stage, pathologic stage, tumor status, histologic grade, and alpha-fetoprotein level. HCC patients with a higher expression level of RAE1 had a poorer prognosis, and the expression level of RAE1 showed the ability to accurately distinguish tumor tissues from normal tissues (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.951). The AUC values of 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were all above 0.6. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that RAE1 expression level was an independent prognostic factor for a shorter overall survival of HCC patients. The rate of RAE1 genetic alterations was 1.1% in HCC samples. Gene ontology and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway enrichment analyses indicated the co-expressed genes of RAE1 were mainly related to chromosome segregation, DNA replication, and cell cycle checkpoint. Protein-protein interaction analysis showed that RAE1 was closely correlated with NUP205, NUP155, NUP214, NUP54, and NXF1, all playing important roles in cell division and mitotic checkpoint.

conclusionRAE1 can be a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker associated with microtubules and a therapeutic target for HCC.
