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

Background: Ferroptosis, a form of cell death discovered in recent years, is expected to provide new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through further research. Methods: Based on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we screened HCC-associated genes from 259 candidate genes in the FerrDb database. The screened genes were subjected to differential expression analysis, survival analysis, correlation analysis with clinical data, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. The results were validated with the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2 (GEPIA2) database and the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database, and signaling pathways were analyzed with the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) enrichment analysis. Human normal hepatocytes and different liver cancer cell lines were used to verify the expression levels of genes, using quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). Results: Eight ferroptosis-related genes were finally selected, including Conclusion: The
