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

backgroundMetabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis-related hepatocellular carcinoma (MASH-HCC) has been reported to be less responsive to immune checkpoint inhibitors, which may be associated with metabolic reprogramming of tumour cells and abnormal tumour microenvironment.

objectiveHere, we aim to investigate the role of gluconeogenic enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) in MASH-HCC and its interplay with the tumour microenvironment.

designHepatocyte-specific phosphatase and tensin homologue (

resultsPCK1 is downregulated in tumour tissues compared with adjacent non-cancerous tissues from patients with MASH-HCC. Hepatocyte-specific

conclusionThis study reveals the pivotal role of the hepatic cell-intrinsic enzyme PCK1 in mediating CD8
