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

Variable splicing (AS) plays important roles in tumor progression. However, the role of the AS factor RBM17 in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not yet been elucidated. We used label-free proteomics, single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq), high throughput sequencing, flow cytometry (FCM), liquid Chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC‒MS/MS), multiparametric immunofluorescence (mIF) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (Chip), to explore the relationship between RBM17 regulation of HCC cell lipid metabolism and the immune microenvironment. Our findings revealed that RBM17 is significantly overexpressed in HCC tissue and is positively correlated with poor prognosis. We found a positive correlation between RBM17 expression and M2 macrophage infiltration. Mechanistically, RBM17 promotes M2 macrophage infiltration by inducing taurocholic acid (T-CA) production, which is achieved through enhancing exon exclusion of CSAD precursor mRNA. Additionally, RBM17 modulates fatty acid metabolism and CD8
