A Novel Four-Gene Signature as a Potential Prognostic Biomarker for 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 common malignant tumor with high incidence and mortality rates. However, a reliable prognostic signature has not yet been confirmed. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to develop a biomarker with high specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with HCC. The mRNA expression profiles of HCC were obtained from the GSE19665, GSE41804, and TCGA databases. Subsequently, 193 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from the intersection of the data from the three datasets. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the identified DEGs are related to the cell cycle, oocyte meiosis, and p53 signaling pathway, among other factors, in cancers. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) and a functional analysis were performed to investigate the biological function of the DEGs and obtain the candidate genes using the MCODE of Cytoscape. The candidate genes were introduced into the TCGA database for survival analysis, and the four candidate genes that were hub genes and meaningful for survival were retained for further verification. We validated the gene and protein expression and determined the prognosis of our patient cohort. In addition, we evaluated the biological functions regulating tumor cell proliferation and metastasis
