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 5-methylcytosine (m5C) RNA methyltransferase NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 5 (NSUN5) has been reported to serve important roles in numerous diseases. However, the functions and clinical significance of NSUN5 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unknown. Clinical information and NSUN5 mRNA sequencing data for 374 patients with HCC were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and NSUN5 mRNA and protein expression levels in 120 patients with HCC (present study cohorts) were assessed using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blotting or immunohistochemistry. The association between NSUN5 mRNA and protein expression levels and the clinical characteristics (or prognosis) of patients with HCC was analyzed using the χ
