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

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of death in the world, characterized by high morbidity, poor prognosis and high mortality. Histone modifications regulate intracellular gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, and disturbances in the regulatory pattern of histone modifications at individual locus or across the genome can lead to tumorigenesis of HCC. In this study, we constructed a prognosis-related histone phosphorylation regulated (HPR) genes signature and elucidated whether HPR genes can predict overall survival in HCC patients. Methods: Differentially expressed genes were screened using TCGA, ICGC and GEO databases, and a new risk signature was constructed by univariate Cox regression and Lasso regression analysis. Predictive nomograms were established by multivariate Cox regression of risk scores and clinical parameters, calibration curve and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the models. The ssGSEA methods were used to determine the effect of risk scores on the tumor immune microenvironment. Data for HCC single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) have been downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to understand the role of HPR genes in tumorigenesis. Results: Our analyses of nine HPR genes provided prognostic insights. Overall survival in the low-risk and high-risk groups was statistically higher, respectively (P<0.001). Cox regression analysis revealed that the risk score is a significant predictor of HCC outcomes (HR=2. 2.62, 95%CI: 1.248-5.514, P=0.011). In addition, a nomogram combining risk scores with TNM stages was constructed and tested from calibration curves and decision curves (AUC=0.780). MHC-class-I genes, iDCs, Macrophages, Tfh, Treg, Th2 were overexpressed in the high-risk group. Conclusion: HPR genes risk score is closely related to the prognosis of HCC, tumor immune process and tumor cell progression.
