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

backgroundWith the development of sequencing technology, several signatures have been reported for the prediction of prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the above signatures are characterized by cumbersome application. Therefore, the study is aimed at screening out a robust stratification system based on only one gene to guide treatment.

methodsFirstly, we used the limma package for performing differential expression analysis on 374 HCC samples, followed by Cox regression analysis on overall survival (OS) and disease-free interval (PFI). Subsequently, hub prognostic genes were found at the intersection of the above three groups. In addition, the topological degree inside the PPI network was used to screen for a unique hub gene. The rms package was used to construct two visual stratification systems for OS and PFI, and Kaplan-Meier analysis was utilized to investigate survival differences in clinical subgroups. The ssGSEA algorithm was then used to reveal the relationship between the hub gene and immune cells, immunological function, and checkpoints. In addition, we also used function annotation to explore into putative biological functions. Finally, for preliminary validation, the hub gene was knocked down in the HCC cell line.

resultsWe discovered 6 prognostic genes (
