Crosstalk of cuproptosis-related prognostic signature and competing endogenous RNAs regulation in hepatocellular carcinoma.

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
backgroundCuproptosis is a new type of programmed cell death involved in the regulation of neuroendocrine tumors, immune microenvironment, and substance metabolism. However, the role of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear.
methodThrough multiple bioinformatics analysis, we constructed a prognostic gene model and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. The correlation between CRGs and prognosis, immune infiltration, immune checkpoints, microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutational burden (TMB) was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curve, univariate Cox, multivariate regression, and Spearman's analysis in HCC patients. Besides, the qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry assays were used to determine prognostic CRGs mRNA and protein expression in HCC.
resultsWe established a novel 3-gene signature related to CRGs for evaluating the prognosis of HCC patients. HCC patients with high risk scores had a poor prognosis with an area under the curve of 0.737, 0.646, and 0.634 on 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year receiver operating characteristic curves. Significant correlation was observed between prognostic CRGs and immune infiltration, immune checkpoints, MSI and TMB. We also developed five ceRNA networks to regulate the occurrence and progression of HCC. CDKN2A, DLAT, and PDHA1 protein expression was up-regulated in HCC versus normal tissues. Besides, the mRNA expression levels of CDKN2A, DLAT, GLS, and PDHA1 were elevated in the HCC cell lines compared to the normal liver cell lines.
conclusionsThis novel prognostic CRGs signature could be accurately predict the prognosis of patients with HCC. The ceRNA regulatory network might be potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HCC patients.
