A Novel hepatocellular carcinoma specific hypoxic related signature for predicting prognosis and therapeutic responses.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Hypoxia is an important feature of the tumor microenvironment(TME) and is closely associated with cancer metastasis, immune evasion, and drug resistance. However, the precise role of hypoxia in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), as well as its influence on the TME, and drug sensitivity remains unclear. We found the excellent survival prediction value of Hypoxia_DEGs_Score model. In hypoxic HCC, somatic mutation, copy number variation, and DNA methylation were closely related to hypoxic changes and affected tumorigenesis, progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. In HCC, aggravated hypoxic stress was found to be accompanied by an immune exclusion phenotype and increased infiltration of immunosuppressive cells. In the validation cohort, patients with high Hypoxia_DEGs_Score were found to have worse immunotherapeutic outcomes and prognoses, and may benefit from drugs against cell cycle signaling pathways rather than those inhibiting the PI3K/mTOR pathway. Hypoxia_DEGs_Score has an excellent predictive capability of changes in the TME, the efficacy of immunotherapy, and the response of drugs. Therefore, Hypoxia_DEGs_Score can help develop personalized immunotherapy regimens and improve the prognosis of HCC patients.
