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

Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma (FLC) is a rare liver cancer characterized by a fusion oncokinase of the genes DNAJB1 and PRKACA, the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). A few FLC-like tumors have been reported showing other alterations involving PKA. To better understand FLC pathogenesis and the relationships among FLC, FLC-like, and other liver tumors, we performed a massive multi-omics analysis. RNA-seq data of 1412 liver tumors from FLC, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatoblastoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma are analyzed, obtaining transcriptomic signatures unrestricted by experimental processing methods. These signatures reveal which dysregulations are unique to specific tumors and which are common to all liver cancers. Moreover, the transcriptomic FLC signature identifies a unifying phenotype for all FLC tumors regardless of how PKA was activated. We study this signature at multi-omics and single-cell levels in the first spatial transcriptomic characterization of FLC, identifying the contribution of tumor, normal, stromal, and infiltrating immune cells. Additionally, we study FLC metastases, finding small differences from the primary tumors.
