A lipid metabolism-based prognostic risk model for HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Lipids in health and disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundUp to 85% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases in China can be attributed to infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Lipid metabolism performs important function in hepatocarcinogenesis of HBV-related liver carcinoma. However, limited studies have explored the prognostic role of lipid metabolism in HBV-related HCC. This study established a prognostic model to stratify HBV-related HCC based on lipid metabolisms.
methodsBased on The Cancer Genome Atlas HBV-related HCC samples, this study selected prognosis-related lipid metabolism genes and established a prognosis risk model by performing uni- and multi-variate Cox regression methods. The final markers used to establish the model were selected through the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method. Analysis of functional enrichment, immune landscape, and genomic alteration was utilized to investigate the inner molecular mechanism involved in prognosis.
resultsThe risk model independently stratified HBV-infected patients with liver cancer into two risk groups. The low-risk groups harbored longer survival times (with P < 0.05, log-rank test). TP53, LRP1B, TTN, and DNAH8 mutations and high genomic instability occurred in high-risk groups. Low-risk groups harbored higher CD8 T cell infiltration and BTLA expression. Lipid-metabolism (including "Fatty acid metabolism") and immune pathways were significantly enriched (P < 0.05) in the low-risk groups.
conclusionsThis study established a robust model to stratify HBV-related HCC effectively. Analysis results decode in part the heterogeneity of HBV-related liver cancer and highlight perturbation of lipid metabolism in HBV-related HCC. This study's findings could facilitate patients' clinical classification and give hints for treatment selection.
