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.

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.

Abstract

Aim of the study: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prognosis heavily depends on early diagnosis. We aimed to determine the role of serum urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) and wd repeat containing antisense to TP53 (WRAP53) as diagnostic tools of HCC. Material and methods: A case-control study including 90 subjects (30 patients having HCC, 30 patients having liver cirrhosis without HCC and 30 healthy controls) was performed. In all participants, the serum levels of UCA1 and WRAP53 were assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction together with serumαa-fetoprotein (AFP). Results: Serum levels of both UCA1 and WRAP53 were upregulated in patients with HCC being significantly higher than in patients with liver cirrhosis and healthy control ( Conclusions: Serum UCA1 and WRAP53 have the potential to be used alone, or in combination or with AFP, as diagnostic non-invasive biomarkers for HCC with accepted sensitivity and specificity. This study has been registered in clinicaltrials.gov with clinical trial registration number NCT05088811.
