High Ki67 Gene Expression Is Associated With Aggressive Phenotype in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Article in World journal of oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with high Ki67 protein expression, the most commonly used cell proliferation marker, is associated with an aggressive biologic phenotype; however, conventional immunostaining is hampered by variability in institutional protocol, specific antibody probe, and by assessor subjectivity. To this end, we hypothesized that Ki67 gene ( Methods: A total of 473 HCC patients with clinicopathological data associated with transcriptome were selected for this study: 358 patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) as the testing cohort, and 115 from GSE76427 as the validation cohort. Each cohort was divided into a highly proliferative group (MKi67-high) and the low MKi67 group (MKi67-low) by the median of Ki67 gene ( Results: MKi67-high HCC patients had worse disease-free survival (DFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and overall survival (OS) independent of histological grade in the TCGA cohort. MKi67 expression correlated with histological grade and tumor size. MKi67 expression increased throughout the HCC carcinomatous sequence from normal liver, cirrhotic liver, early HCC, and advanced HCC. MKi67-high HCC was associated with higher intratumor heterogeneity, homologous recombination deficiency, and altered fraction as well as intratumoral infiltration of T helper type 1 (Th1) and Th2 cells, but lower interferon-gamma response and M2 macrophage infiltration. Cell proliferation-related gene sets in the Hallmark collection (E2F targets, G2M checkpoint, Myc target v1 and mitotic spindle), MTORC1 signaling, DNA repair, PI3K MTOR signaling, and unfolded protein response were all enriched in the MKi67-high HCC (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.25). Conclusions: High
