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

The heterogeneity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) highlights the importance of precision therapy. In recent years, single-cell RNA sequencing has been used to reveal the expression of genes at the single-cell level and comprehensively study cell heterogeneity. This study combined big data analytics and single-cell data mining to study the influence of genes on HCC prognosis. The cells and genes closely related to the HCC were screened through single-cell RNA sequencing (71,915 cells, including 34,414 tumor cells) and big data analysis. Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of the key genes of HCC was conducted for molecular classification and multi-dimensional correlation analyses, and a prognostic model for HCC was established. Finally, the correlation between the prognostic model and clinicopathological features was analyzed. 16,880 specific cells, screened from the single-cell expression profile matrix, were divided into 20 sub-clusters. Cell typing revealed that 97% of these cells corresponded to HCC cell lines, demonstrating the high specificity of cells derived from single-cell sequencing. 2,038 genes with high variability were obtained. The 371 HCC samples were divided into two molecular clusters. Cluster 1 (C1) was associated with tumorigenesis, high immune score, immunotherapy targets (PD-L1 and CYLA-4), high pathological stage, and poor prognosis. Cluster 2 (C2) was related to metabolic and immune function, low immune score, low pathological stage, and good prognosis. Seven differentially expressed genes (CYP3A4, NR1I2, CYP2C9, TTR, APOC3, CYP1A2, and AFP) identified between the two molecular clusters were used to construct a prognostic model. We further validated the correlation between the seven key genes and clinical features, and the established prognostic model could effectively predict HCC prognosis. Our study identified seven key genes related to HCC that were used to construct a prognostic model through single-cell sequencing and big data analytics. This study provides new insights for further research on clinical targets of HCC and new biomarkers for clinical application.
