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 application of steatotic liver graft has been increased significantly due to the severe donor shortage and prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, steatotic donor livers are vulnerable to acute phase inflammatory injury, which may result in cancer recurrence. Alternative splicing events (ASEs) are critical for diverse transcriptional variants in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we aimed to depict the landscape of ASEs, as well as to identify the differential ASEs in steatotic liver graft and their association with tumor recurrence after transplantation. The overall portrait of intragraft transcripts and ASEs were elucidated through RNA sequencing with the liver graft biopsies from patients and rat transplant models. Various differential ASEs were identified in steatotic liver grafts. CYP2E1, ADH1A, CYP2C8, ADH1C, and HGD, as corresponding genes to the common pathways involved differential ASEs in human and rats, were significantly associated with HCC patients' survival. The differential ASEs related RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) were enriched in metabolic pathways. The altered immune cell distribution, particularly macrophages and neutrophils, were perturbated by differential ASEs. The cancer hallmarks were enriched in steatotic liver grafts and closely associated with differential ASEs. Our work identified the differential ASE network with metabolic RBPs, immune cell distribution, and cancer hallmarks in steatotic liver grafts. We verified the link between steatotic liver graft injury and tumor recurrence at post-transcriptional level, offered new evidence to explore metabolism and immune responses, and provided the potential prognostic and therapeutic markers for tumor recurrence.
