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

Primary liver cancer (PLC) is a prevalent tumor globally, ranking third in cancer-related mortality. The role of N4-acetylcysteine (ac4C) and N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression, migration, and invasion requires further elucidation. High NAT10 expression correlated with poor prognosis in HCC patients. Knockdown of NAT10 hindered HCC cell proliferation. AcRIP-seq screening revealed DDIAS as a significant downstream target of NAT10. Decreased NAT10 levels reduced DDIAS mRNA stability, leading to decreased proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells upon DDIAS knockdown. Ectopic expression of DDIAS counteracted the effects of NAT10 knockdown by modulating the PI3K/AKT pathway. NAT10 was found to be elevated in HCC tissues compared to normal tissues, promoting HCC progression and correlating with shorter overall survival in patients. Mechanistically, NAT10 regulated HCC progression through the ac4C-DDIAS-PI3K-AKT axis.
