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

Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a common paediatric liver malignancy characterised by significant intratumoral heterogeneity and a complex tumour microenvironment (TME). Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we analysed 43,592 cells from three tumour regions and adjacent normal tissue of an HB patient. Our study revealed distinct cellular compositions and varying degrees of malignancy across different tumour regions, with the T1 region showing the highest malignancy and overexpression of HMGB2 and TOP2A. Survival analysis demonstrated that high HMGB2 expression is associated with poor prognosis and increased recurrence, suggesting its potential as a prognostic marker. Additionally, we identified a diverse immune microenvironment enriched with regulatory T cells (Tregs) and CD8
