Potentials as biomarker and therapeutic target of upregulated long non-coding RNA HLA-F antisense RNA 1 in hepatitis B virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Virus genes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The tissue-specific characteristics have encouraged researchers to identify organ-specific lncRNAs as disease biomarkers. This study aimed to identify the clinical and functional roles of long non-coding RNA HLA-F antisense RNA 1 (HLA-F-AS1) in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of 121 HBV-HCC, 81 chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and 85 normal liver tissues were evaluated in this study. Real-time quantitative PCR assay was used to evaluate the RNA expression levels. Performance in diagnosis was compared between alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and HLA-F-AS1 using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves. Performance in post-hepatectomy prognosis with high or low HLA-F-AS1 was compared using Kaplan-Meier curves. Multi-variable analysis was used to determine the informative predictors. Downstream miRNAs for HLA-F-AS1 were predicted and miR-128-3p was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull-down assay. In vitro functional analysis was performed by MTS reagent for cell proliferation and transwell assay for cell migration. HLA-F-AS1 levels were significantly increased in the HBV-HCC compared to normal healthy tissue and CHB tissues. HLA-F-AS1 exhibited a well potential in making a distinction between HBV-HCC and health, as well as HBV-HCC and CHB. The survival analysis revealed that patients with high levels of HLA-F-AS1 tend to shorter overall survival times. The best prognostic performance was achieved by HLA-F-AS1 after multi-variable analysis (HR 2.290, 95% CI 1.191-4.403, p = 0.013). Functional analysis showed that HLA-F-AS1 promoted cell proliferation and migration via miR-128-3p. Up-regulation of HLA-F-AS1 could serve as a promising diagnostic and prognostic marker for HBV-HCC after surgery, maybe useful in the management of HBV-HCC patients. HLA-F-AS1 can promote the progression of HBV-HCC, may be useful in the targeting treatment of HBV-HCC patients.
