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 leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide, and its onset and progression are closely associated with epigenetic modifications, particularly post-translational modifications of histones (HPTMs). In recent years, advances in mass spectrometry (MS) have revealed a series of novel HPTMs, including succinylation (Ksuc), citrullination (Kcit), butyrylation (Kbhb), lactylation (Kla), crotonylation (Kcr), and 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib). These modifications not only expand the histone code but also play significant roles in key carcinogenic processes such as tumor proliferation, metastasis, and metabolic reprogramming in HCC. This review provides the first comprehensive analysis of the impact of novel HPTMs on gene expression, cellular metabolism, immune evasion, and the tumor microenvironment. It specifically focuses on their roles in promoting tumor stem cell characteristics, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and therapeutic resistance. Additionally, the review highlights the dynamic regulation of these modifications by specific enzymes, including "writers," "readers," and "erasers."
