Dual tissue mRNA and serum protein signatures improve risk stratification in hepatocellular carcinoma.

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.
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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is highly heterogeneous, making prognosis and treatment prediction challenging. Using multi-omics data from multiple HCC cohorts, we identified five biomarkers (AKR1B10, ANXA2, COL15A1, SPARCL1, and SPINK1) and developed dual serum and tissue signatures by machine learning. The tissue mRNA signature could stratify prognostic risk and reflect alterations in the tumor's genome, metabolism, and immune microenvironment. High-risk HCC responded poorly to sorafenib and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) but sensitively to agent ABT-263 in silico, in vitro, and in vivo experiments. The serum protein signature outperformed the clinical tumor staging systems in predicting 24-month disease-free survival, with median time-dependent areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC(t)) of 0.79 and 0.75 in two postoperative cohorts, and the AUC was 0.90 for predicting treatment benefit in a TACE-treated cohort. Interpretability analysis revealed consistent biomarker contributions in both signatures. Conclusively, the dual signatures show promise for HCC risk stratification, pending external validation.
