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 a common primary malignant tumor and cause of cancer-related death in humans. Increasing evidence indicates that an imbalance in N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is strongly linked to the occurrence and development of cancer. We used comprehensive bioinformatics to establish a potential prognostic model of HCC based on m6A methylation-related genes. And case analyses were used to verify the results. Methods: The clinical data and gene expressions were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) databases. The prognostic value of m6A methylation-related genes in HCC patients and their relationship with the immune microenvironment were explored by comprehensive bioinformatics analyses. We also collected pathological specimens from 70 patients with HCC from the Department of Pathology, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, and performed immunohistochemical staining on the specimens. We compared tumor specimens from 27 patients positive for Results: Most m6A methylation-related genes showed significantly different expressions between cancer and normal tissues. Three candidate m6A methylation-related genes ( Conclusions: Our prognostic model based on m6A methylation-related genes effectively predicted the prognosis of HCC patients.
