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 and Aims: TMCO3, a member of the monovalent cation:proton antiporter-2 family, has been annotated as a Na Methods: Bioinformatic analyses were conducted using transcriptome data from public databases to determine the expression, prognosis, and functional enrichment of TMCO3 in HCC. TMCO3 expression was further validated in an independent HCC cohort from our institution. The oncogenic role of TMCO3 in HCC was evaluated using Results: The upregulated expression of TMCO3 was identified and verified in multiple HCC cohorts, and worse overall survival and recurrence-free survival were observed in patients with high TMCO3 expression. The overexpression and knockdown of TMCO3 could affect the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells, which might be associated with the p53-induced cell cycle regulation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, respectively. Notably, significant correlations were found between dysregulated TMCO3 and various antitumor agents. Its role in sorafenib sensitivity was further identified by Conclusions: Upregulated TMCO3 could act as an oncogenic mediator and promote sorafenib resistance in HCC, providing a potential therapeutic target for HCC treatment.
