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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent and aggressive cancer that presents significant challenges for early detection. This study introduces the GlyExo-Capture method for isolating fucosylated extracellular vesicles (Fu-EVs) from serum. We analyze microRNA (miRNA) profiles from Fu-EVs in 88 HCC patients and 179 non-HCC controls using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and identify five miRNAs (hsa-let-7a, hsa-miR-21, hsa-miR-125a, hsa-miR-200a, and hsa-miR-150) as biomarkers for HCC diagnosis. The five-miRNA panel demonstrates exceptional HCC diagnostic performance, with a sensitivity of 0.90 and specificity of 0.92 in a combined cohort of 194 HCC and 412 non-HCC controls, significantly surpassing the performance of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP). Notably, the miRNA model achieves recall rates of 85.7% and 90.8% for stage 0 and stage A early-stage HCC, respectively, identifies 88.1% of AFP-negative HCC cases, and effectively differentiates HCC from other cancers. This study provides a high-throughput, rapid, and non-invasive approach for early HCC detection.
