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
backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, characterized by high rates of angiogenesis and immune evasion. Paraspeckle genes, involved in gene regulation and RNA metabolism, have recently been linked to tumor progression. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between paraspeckle genes and HCC prognosis, focusing on SFPQ, DDX39B, and UBAP2.
methodsWe analyzed HCC (LIHC) and prostate cancer (PRAD) samples from the TCGA database to explore the correlation between paraspeckle genes and angiogenesis. We conducted unsupervised clustering, risk scoring, and survival analysis to identify distinct patient groups and their clinical outcomes. Gene expression data were used to perform differential analysis and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment.
resultsOur analysis identified significant correlations between paraspeckle genes and angiogenesis across multiple cancer types. Elevated expression levels of SFPQ, DDX39B, and UBAP2 were associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients, and all of them has statistical significance. Unsupervised clustering of HCC samples based on paraspeckle gene expression revealed two distinct clusters, with high-risk patients exhibiting stronger immune suppression and tumor immune evasion. GO enrichment highlighted critical pathways related to angiogenesis and immune regulation. Additionally, a risk scoring model based on these genes effectively distinguished high-risk and low-risk patient groups, providing valuable prognostic insights.
conclusionThis study demonstrates that SFPQ, DDX39B, and UBAP2 are significantly associated with poor prognosis in HCC, likely due to their roles in promoting angiogenesis and immune suppression. These findings highlight the potential of paraspeckle genes as prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, offering new avenues for personalized treatment strategies in HCC. Further research into their functional mechanisms and clinical applicability is crucial for advancing HCC treatment and improving patient outcomes.
