5'-transfer RNA halve-lysine-CTT as a promising biomarker for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07265271 (Project for Multi-Omics-Based Early Detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a globally prevalent malignancy associated with high morbidity and mortality. Transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNAs originating from tRNA, have emerged as potential therapeutic targets in cancers, including HCC. However, the specific tsRNAs involved in HCC and their precise mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we identify and characterize specific tsRNAs involved in the development and progression of HCC, discovering their potential as novel biomarkers for early detection and potential therapeutic targets.
aimTo investigate differentially expressed tsRNAs in HCC, identify potential biomarkers, and elucidate the functions and mechanisms of tsRNAs in HCC.
methodsDifferentially expressed tsRNAs in Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer 0/A-stage HCC tissues were identified through high-throughput sequencing. Agarose gel electrophoresis, Sanger sequencing, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction were conducted to detect 5'-tRNA halve (tiRNA)-lysine (Lys)-CTT in tissues and serum samples. The diagnostic performance of 5'-tiRNA-Lys-CTT was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. HCC cell proliferation was examined using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, colony formation assay, and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine staining. Additionally, the migratory capability of HCC cells was investigated using Transwell assays.
resultsThe 5'-tiRNA-Lys-CTT demonstrated excellent stability and can be easily detected. Its expression was significantly upregulated in 50 HCC tissues, 110 HCC serum samples, and 5 HCC cell lines
conclusionThe 5'-tiRNA-Lys-CTT levels were higher in early HCC patients. 5'-tiRNA-Lys-CTT is a promising diagnostic biomarker for early-stage HCC and may play an oncogenic role in HCC by interacting with downstream mRNA targets
