Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Introduction: Macrophages and T cells play crucial roles in liver physiology, but their functional diversity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains largely unknown. Methods: Two bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) cohorts for HCC were analyzed using gene co-expression network analysis. Key gene modules and networks were mapped to single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of HCC. Cell type fraction of bulk RNA-seq data was estimated by deconvolution approach using single-cell RNA-sequencing data as a reference. Survival analysis was carried out to estimate the prognosis of different immune cell types in bulk RNA-seq cohorts. Cell-cell interaction analysis was performed to identify potential links between immune cell types in HCC. Results: In this study, we analyzed RNA-seq data from two large-scale HCC cohorts, revealing a major and consensus gene co-expression cluster with significant implications for immunosuppression. Notably, these genes exhibited higher enrichment in liver macrophages than T cells, as confirmed by scRNA-seq data from HCC patients. Integrative analysis of bulk and single-cell RNA-seq data pinpointed Discussion: This study underpins the potential of SPP1 as a translational target in immunotherapy for HCC.
