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 global health burden with poor prognosis. Anoikis, a novel programmed cell death, has a close interaction with metastasis and progression of cancer. In this study, we aimed to construct a novel bioinformatics model for evaluating the prognosis of HCC based on anoikis-related gene signatures as well as exploring the potential mechanisms. Materials and methods: We downloaded the RNA expression profiles and clinical data of liver hepatocellular carcinoma from TCGA database, ICGC database and GEO database. DEG analysis was performed using TCGA and verified in the GEO database. The anoikis-related risk score was developed Results: A total of 49 anoikis-related DEGs in HCC were detected and 3 genes (EZH2, KIF18A and NQO1) were selected out to build a prognostic model. Furthermore, GO and KEGG functional enrichment analyses indicated that the difference in overall survival between risk groups was closely related to cell cycle pathway. Notably, further analyses found the frequency of tumor mutations, immune infiltration level and expression of immune checkpoints were significantly different between the two risk groups, and the results of the immunotherapy cohort showed that patients in the high-risk group have a better immune response. Additionally, the high-risk group was found to have higher sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin and gemcitabine. Conclusion: The novel signature of 3 anoikis-related genes (EZH2, KIF18A and NQO1) can predict the prognosis of patients with HCC, and provide a revealing insight into personalized treatments in HCC.
