Molecular subtypes based on Wnt-signaling gene expression predict prognosis and tumor microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Based on increasing research evidence, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is heterogeneous, and genetic profiling has led to the identification of multiple subtypes of this disease. To advance our knowledge and the ability to use individualized medicine in the treatment of HCC, it is essential to perform a complete and methodical characterization of various molecular subtypes. The canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway is an evolutionarily conserved complicated signaling mechanism that plays a role in carcinogenesis and progression of HCC. In this study, we acquired RNA sequencing, somatic mutation, and clinical data from 701 patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus databases and stratified patients into two subgroups: WNT-high and WNT-low. In general, the WNT-high subtype is associated with an immunosuppressive microenvironment, poor prognosis, cancer-related pathways, and a low response to immune checkpoint therapy. We also found that WNT3 is negatively linked to CD8
