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 the most common form of primary liver cancer with poor prognosis. Sorafenib, a first-line treatment for advanced HCC, has shown limited clinical benefits due to the onset of drug resistance. Thus, it is imperative to comprehend the mechanisms underlying sorafenib resistance and explore strategies to overcome or delay it. Here, we established HCC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models with acquired resistance to sorafenib and performed comprehensive proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses on these models. The active cell cycle pathway along with the active cyclin-dependent kinase CDK1 and DNA-dependent protein kinase PRKDC was identified through KEGG pathway enrichment and kinase substrate enrichment analyses. Upon investigating the potential of combining sorafenib with putative kinase inhibitors, we found that the combination displays synergistic anti-proliferative effects in the sorafenib-resistant liver cancer cell line, thus providing a proof of concept for phosphoproteomic-guided design of precision medicine.
