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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) are two distinct types of primary liver cancer (PLC) characterized by considerable extents of cellular and molecular heterogeneities. We recently developed a web-based cell atlas called LiverSCA that possesses a user-friendly interface and comprehensive functionalities. It facilitates the exploration of gene expression patterns, cellular compositions, and intercellular communication within the microenvironments of liver and PLC tumors.

methodsTo further enhance the documentation of data pinpointing different phenotypes/subtypes of liver and PLC, we extended the catalog of LiverSCA with additional datasets, e.g., ICC and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease/steatosis (MASLD/MASH).

resultsThe current enhanced version of the LiverSCA cell atlas encompasses six phenotypes (normal, HBV-HCC, HCV-HCC, non-viral HCC, ICC, and MASH), 63 patients, and over 248,000 cells. Furthermore, we have incorporated comparative visualization methods that allow users to simultaneously examine and compare gene expression levels between two different phenotypes.

conclusionsWe are committed to the continuous development of LiverSCA and envision that it will serve as a valuable resource to support researchers in convenient investigations into the cellular and molecular landscapes of liver and PLC.
