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: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by high incidence and mortality rates, with hypoxia and anoikis resistance playing crucial roles in its progression and metastasis. While long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) significantly influence tumor biology, their roles in hypoxia-anoikis-resistant HCC remain unclear. Methods: This study utilized RNA-seq data and clinical information from the TCGA and GEO databases to analyze 154 hypoxia- and anoikis-related lncRNAs and identify differentially expressed candidates. Cluster analysis with Consensus Cluster Plus revealed links to clinical outcomes and genomic features. Tumor immune microenvironment and pathway enrichment were assessed using CIBERSORT and ssGSEA. A nine-gene risk model was developed via LASSO Cox regression and internally validated. Preliminary experimental assays suggested that the identified lncRNAs may influence apoptosis under hypoxia and anoikis conditions. Results: HCC patients were classified into two molecular subtypes, C1 and C2, with distinct prognostic outcomes and clinical features. These subtypes showed distinct immune infiltration characteristics and differential immunotherapy response scores. A nine-lncRNA prognostic model effectively predicted overall survival (OS), with the high-risk group showing increased immunosuppressive elements, such as Tregs and inactivated M0 macrophages, suggesting limited immunotherapy efficacy. Chemotherapy sensitivity analysis revealed varying drug responses between risk groups, while hypoxia- and anoikis-related lncRNAs, including Conclusion: Research has demonstrated that hypoxia- and anoikis-related lncRNAs serve as reliable biomarkers for predicting liver cancer prognosis and immunotherapy response, offering potential for developing novel therapeutic targets and strategies to enhance treatment outcomes and patient prognosis.
