From cirrhosis to hepatocellular carcinoma: An investigation into hepatitis C viral oncogenesis.
Article in Hepatology forum, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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 and Aim: Hepatitis C is a leading cause of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Understanding the evolution and biology of HCC among HCV patients may lead to novel therapeutic avenues and risk stratification. Material and Methods: Using meta-analysis platform STARGEO, we performed two separate meta-analyses as follows: 357 HCV-related HCC tumor samples with 220 adjacent non-tumor samples and 92 HCV-related cirrhotic liver samples with 53 healthy liver samples as a control. Then, we analyzed the signature in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Results: HCV cirrhosis analysis demonstrated LPS/IL-1 mediated inhibition of RXR function, LXR/RXR activation, sirtuin signaling, IL-10 signaling and hepatic fibrosis/stellate cell activation as top canonical pathways. IL1β, TNF, and TGF-β1 were top upstream regulators. Cellular morphologic and signaling changes were noted through the up-regulation of RGS1/2, WNT receptor FZD7, the TGF-β1-induced gap junction gene GJA1, and the zinc finger transcription factor repressor SNAI2. Apoptosis was inhibited through the down-regulation of OMA1. Metabolic dysfunction was noted through the down-regulation of SCLY and CBS. HCV-related HCC analysis showed FXR/RXR and LXR/RXR signaling, LPS/IL1-mediated inhibition of RXR activation, and melatonin degradation as top canonical pathways. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the genetic changes in the setting of chronic HCV infection predispose patients to developing HCC.
