Genetic association of cardiovascular disease related biomarkers with the overall survival of hepatocellular carcinoma: a Mendelian randomization analysis.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Observational studies have reported associations between circulating biomarkers related to cardiovascular disease and the survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the relationship between these biomarkers and survival remains controversial. We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis to investigate possible causal associations between cardiovascular disease biomarkers and hepatocellular carcinoma survival. Genetic risk scores, calculated using individual-level data from 866 cases of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma in Guangxi, were utilized as proxies for four cardiovascular disease biomarkers: C-reactive protein, Apolipoprotein A-1, Cystatin C, and Lipoprotein(a). Associations between the genetic scores and survival were analyzed using Cox regression. The inverse-variance weighted method was used to estimate the summary statistics for the biomarkers and survival. Considering the multiple comparisons, the statistical significance was set at
