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 one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Despite continuous development of treatment methods, overall survival rate of liver cancer is low. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a first-choice treatment for advanced liver cancer. Although it is generally effective, a number of patients do not benefit from it. Therefore, the present study was conducted to assess the response of patients following TACE. RNA-sequencing data and corresponding clinical information were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus databases. Models were constructed using weighted gene co-expression network analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-Cox regression analysis based on TCGA-LIHC and GSE104580 cohorts. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used for evaluation. Immunoassay, half-maximal inhibitory concentration analysis of risk groups, genomic enrichment analysis and nomogram construction were also performed. The predictive models were validated at the single-cell level using single-cell databases. Finally, the present study examined the expression of TACE refractoriness-related TFs (TRTs) in TACE-resistant and non-resistant cell lines
