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

Ferroptosis has been increasingly implicated in the progression of various tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to identify ferroptosis-related genes with prognostic significance in HCC. Differential expressed genes (DEGs) and long non-coding RNAs (DElncRNAs) were identified from TCGA LIHC RNA-seq data. A competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was established based on ferroptosis-related lncRNA-mRNA pairs. Prognostic genes were identified through survival analysis, and selected DEGs were further validated via quantitative PCR. Co-expression analysis identified 218 lncRNA-mRNA pairs, including 216 DEGs and 11 DElncRNAs. Among these, 11 upregulated ferroptosis-related genes were identified as predicted targets of the lncRNA DDX11-AS1. MiR-195 and miR-424 both regulated CDC25A and HELLS. Elevated expression of DDX11-AS1, CDC25A, EZH2, FANCD2, and HELLS was associated with poorer survival. In vitro cellular experiments showed that the knockdown of DDX11-AS1, CDC25A, and HELLS inhibited cell proliferation and invasion by promoting ferroptosis in Huh7 cells. The 11 ferroptosis-related genes and DDX11-AS1 may serve as valuable prognostic biomarkers and potential immunotherapeutic targets in HCC.
