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

Purpose: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) related to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is often diagnosed at a late stage, and its incidence is increasing. Predictive biomarkers are therefore needed to identify individuals at high risk of HCC. We aimed to characterize the gut microbiome and hepatic transcriptome associated with HCC development in female mice with hepatocyte-deletion of Pten ( Methods & Results: Sequencing of stool 16S and hepatic RNA was performed on a first set of mice. Among all liver histology parameters measured, the strongest association with microbiome composition changes was with the number of tumors detected at necropsy, followed by inflammation. The gut microbiome of mice with more than 2 tumors was enriched with Conclusion: We identified microbiome components contributing to liver carcinogenesis by inducing inflammation, and changes in hepatic gene expression and hepatic cells distribution that contribute to tumor growth. Such information can be highly valuable for the development of new prevention strategies as well as of new biomarkers for risk modeling in HCC.
