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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most serious malignant tumors with a poor prognosis worldwide. Cuproptosis is a novel copper-dependent cell death form, involving mitochondrial respiration and lipoylated components of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to affect the tumorigenesis, growth, and metastasis of HCC.

objectiveWe explored the potential roles of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs in predicting the prognosis for HCC.

methodsThe RNA-seq transcriptome data, mutation data, and clinical information data of HCC patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm and Cox regression analyses were performed to identify a prognostic cuproptosis-related lncRNA signature. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of the lncRNA signature for HCC. The enrichment pathways, immune functions, immune cell infiltration, tumor mutation burden, and drug sensitivity were also analyzed.

resultsWe constructed a prognostic model consisting of 8 cuproptosis-related lncRNAs for HCC. The patients were divided into high-risk group and low-risk group according to the riskscore calculated using the model. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the high-risk lncRNA signature was correlated with poor overall survival [hazard ratio (HR) =1.009, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.002-1.015; p= 0.010)] of HCC. A prognostic nomogram incorporated the lncRNA signature and clinicopathological features were constructed and showed favorable performance for predicting prognosis of HCC patients. In addition, the most immune-related functions were significantly different between the high-risk and low-risk groups. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) and immune checkpoints were also expressed differently between the two risk groups. Finally, HCC patients with low-risk score were more sensitive to several chemotherapy drugs.

conclusionsThe novel cuproptosis-related lncRNA signature could be used to predict prognosis and evaluate the effect of chemotherapy for HCC.
