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 most common malignant tumor of the liver. Cuproptosis is a newly defined form of cell death. Copper ion induces cell death by binding to the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). The effect of cuproptosis-related and TCA-related genes on the clinical prognosis of HCC is still unclear. In this study, we explores the genetic changes of cuproptosis-related genes that affect the TCA process and their potential therapeutic value in HCC patients. Methods: The cuproptosis and TCA-related genes were obtained from cuproptosis-related articles and the molecular signatures database. The prognosis signatures of eight related genes were constructed using the last absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the signature. In addition, we analyzed downstream functional enrichment and immune infiltration to explore cuproptosis-inducing drugs and immunotherapeutic responses. All these analyses were validated using multiple datasets of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC). Results: TCA and copper malnutrition-related genes ( Conclusion: In this study, we established a new prediction signature of eight genes related to cuproptosis and the TCA process, which can effectively predict the prognosis of HCC patients.
