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) has very low overall survival. According to global cancer statistics, approximately 905677 new cases were reported in 2020, with at least 830180 of them being fatal. Cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) is a novel, transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed in a wide variety of tumor cells and plays an important role in various stages of tumor development. Based on the reports described previously, we theorize that CD147 may be used as a novel biological indicator to predict the prognosis of HCC. To study this possibility, expression profiles of CD147 and corresponding clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases were analyzed, and a hazard ratio (HR) was established.

aimTo explore the pattern of CD147 expression and its applicability in the prognosis of HCC. To establish HRs and probability points for predicting the prognosis of HCC by correlating CD147 expression with clinical characteristics. To determine if CD147 can be a reliable biomarker in HCC prognosis.

methodsThe CD147 expression profile in HCC and corresponding clinical data were obtained from TCGA database. The expression patterns of CD147 were then validated by analyzing data from the GEO database. In addition, CD147 immunohistochemistry in HCC was obtained from the Human Protein Atlas. CD147 expression patterns and clinical characteristics in the prognosis of HCC were analyzed by accessing the UALCAN web resource. Accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the CD147 expression profile in predictive prognosis were determined by the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to estimate the HR of survival in HCC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression proportional hazards analyses of CD147 expression levels and clinical characteristics as prognostic factors of HCC were performed. Nomograms were used to establish probability points and predict prognosis.

resultsData from TCGA and GEO databases revealed that CD147 was significantly overexpressed in HCC (

conclusionOverexpression of CD147 was correlated with poor prognosis in HCC. The CD147 expression profile combined with clinical characteristics can reliably predict the prognosis of HCC. CD147 can serve as a biomarker to predict the prognosis of HCC.
