Integrative analysis of tissue and circulating miRNAs as biomarkers for progression and survival 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 a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with limited biomarkers available for early diagnosis and risk stratification. In this study, we performed an integrative analysis of tissue and circulating microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles to identify candidates linked to disease progression and clinical outcomes. Tumor miRNA data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (TCGA-LIHC) and serum miRNA data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE113740) were analyzed using differential expression, survival analysis, functional enrichment, and clinical subgroup evaluation. We identified 16 significantly dysregulated miRNAs in HCC tissues, including hsa-miR-187 and hsa-miR-6718, which were associated with poor survival, and hsa-miR-5589, which showed a protective effect. Clinical analyses revealed stage-specific upregulation of hsa-miR-106b and downregulation of the hsa-miR-124 family in metastatic tumors. Functional enrichment highlighted pathways such as PI3K-Akt, MAPK signalling, and nucleocytoplasmic transport. Circulating miRNAs, including hsa-miR-3619-3p, hsa-miR-1290, and hsa-miR-1185-2-3p, correlated with AFP levels and disease stage, underscoring their value as non-invasive biomarkers. These findings demonstrate that integrated analysis of tissue and serum miRNAs can identify clinically relevant biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets in HCC.
