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) comprises several distinct molecular subtypes with varying prognostic implications. However, a comprehensive analysis of a prognostic signature for HCC based on molecular subtypes related to disulfidptosis and glycolysis, as well as associated metabolomics and the immune microenvironment, is yet to be fully explored. Methods: Based on the differences in the expression of disulfide-related glycolytic genes (DRGGs), patients with HCC were divided into different subtypes by consensus clustering. Establish and verify a risk prognosis signature. Finally, the expression level of the key gene SLCO1B1 in the signature was evaluated using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in HCC. The association between this gene and immune cells was explored using multiplex immunofluorescence. The biological functions of the cell counting kit-8, wound healing, and colony formation assays were studied. Results: Different subtypes of patients have specific clinicopathological features, prognosis and immune microenvironment. We identified seven valuable genes and constructed a risk-prognosis signature. Analysis of the risk score revealed that compared to the high-risk group, the low-risk group had a better prognosis, higher immune scores, and more abundant immune-related pathways, consistent with the tumor subtypes. Furthermore, IHC and qRT-PCR analyses showed decreased expression of SLCO1B1 in HCC tissues. Functional experiments revealed that SLCO1B1 overexpression inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells. Conclusion: We developed a prognostic signature that can assist clinicians in predicting the overall survival of patients with HCC and provides a reference value for targeted therapy.
