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

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) demonstrates significant prognostic variability that is not entirely accounted for by traditional staging systems. Necrosis by sodium overload (NECSO) is an emerging programmed cell death pathway, but its clinical relevance in HCC remains undefined. Therefore, this study aimed to identify TRPM4-associated core genes, develop and validate a prognostic signature, and investigate its relationship with the tumor immune microenvironment, tumor mutational burden, and single-cell expression patterns in HCC. Methods: We integrated transcriptomic, clinical, and mutational datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas-Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (TCGA-LIHC) (n=421) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) cohorts (n=115) to identify genes co-expressed with Results: From 294 Conclusions: The TRPM4-centered 11-gene signature provides robust and independent prognostic stratification in HCC by integrating immune, mutational, and single-cell features. This signature serves as a potential tool for prognostic evaluation and may help inform immunotherapeutic strategies for HCC.
