Establishment and validation of a cholesterol metabolism-related prognostic signature for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Computational and structural biotechnology journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers.
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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the most important type of liver cancer, the 5-year survival rate for advanced HCC is 2%. The heterogeneity of HCC makes previous models fail to achieve satisfactory results. The role of Cholesterol-based metabolic reprogramming in cancer has attracted more and more attention. In this study, we screened cholesterol metabolism-related genes (CMRGs) based on a systematical analysis from TCGA and GEO database. Then, we constructed a prognostic signature based on the screened 5 CMRGs: FDPS, FABP5, ANXA2, ACADL and HMGCS2. The clinical value of the five CMRGs was validated by TCGA database and HPA database. HCC patients were assigned to the high-risk and low-risk groups on the basis of median risk score calculated by the five CMRGs. We evaluated the signature in TCGA database and validated in ICGC database. The results revealed that the prognostic signature had good prognostic performance, even among different clinicopathological subgroups. The function analysis linked CMRGs with KEGG pathway, such as cell adhesion molecules, drug metabolism-cytochrome P450 and other related pathways. In addition, patients in the high-risk group exhibited characteristics of high TP53 mutation, high immune checkpoints expression and high immune cell infiltration. Furthermore, based on the prognostic signature, we identified 25 most significant small molecule drugs as potential drugs for HCC patients. Finally, a nomogram combined risk score and TNM stage was constructed. These results indicated our prognostic signature has an excellent prediction performance. This study is expected to provide a potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for HCC.
