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) is one of the most serious malignant tumors threatening human life with a high mortality rate. The liver regenerative capacity after hepatectomy in early-stage HCC patients is influenced by various factors, including surgical methods and energy metabolism. This study aims to provide a prognostic model based on genes related to liver regeneration that can predict the prognosis of non-tumor tissues in HCC patients. Patients and Methods: A total of 584 non-tumor tissues from HCC patients were collected from three independent databases. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to identify prognostic liver-regeneration genes. Subsequently, a prognostic indicator, designated as the Liver Regeneration score (LR score), was determined using single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). Independent cohorts were used to verify the relationship between LR score and prognosis in non-tumor tissues of HCC patients. Furthermore, a liver regeneration-related model was established to validate key genes identified through LASSO Cox regression analysis. Results: We constructed a gene set comprising 24 liver regeneration-related genes, and the LR score was utilized to predict the prognosis of HCC patients based on its levels in non-tumor tissues. In non-tumor tissues of HCC patients, higher LR scores were associated with improved prognosis. Higher LR scores in non-tumor tissues indicate improved liver metabolism in HCC patients, revealed by Enrichment analysis. LASSO Cox regression analysis identified two key genes, DHTKD1 (dehydrogenase E1 and transketolase domain containing 1) and PHYH (phytanoyl-CoA 2-hydroxylase), and higher expression levels of these genes in non-tumor tissues were correlated with better prognosis. The expression levels of these two genes also changed corresponding to the progression of liver regeneration. Conclusion: In summary, our study has introduced a novel LR gene signature for HCC patients, providing a predictive model for estimating clinical prognosis from non-tumor tissues. The LR score demonstrates promise as a reliable indicator for predicting overall survival in HCC.
