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) is notorious for its aggressive progression and dismal prognosis, with chromatin accessibility dynamics emerging as pivotal yet poorly understood drivers.

aimTo dissect how multilayered chromatin regulation sustains oncogenic transcription and tumor-stroma crosstalk in HCC, we combined multiomics single cell analysis.

methodsWe integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and paired single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing data of HCC samples, complemented by bulk RNA sequencing validation across The Cancer Genome Atlas, Liver Cancer Institute, and GSE25907 cohorts. Cell type-specific chromatin architectures were resolved

resultsMalignant hepatocytes exhibited expanded chromatin accessibility profiles, characterized by increased numbers of accessible peaks and larger physical regions despite reduced peak intensity. Enhancer-like peaks enriched in malignant regulation, forming long-range hubs. Eighteen enhancer-like peak-related genes showed tumor-specific overexpression and diagnostic accuracy, correlating with poor prognosis. Intercellular coaccessibility analysis revealed tumor-stroma symbiosis

conclusionMultilayered chromatin reprogramming sustains HCC progression through tumor-stroma crosstalk and
