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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. Due to the lack of specific characteristics in the early stage of the disease, patients are usually diagnosed in the advanced stage of disease progression.

objectiveThis study used machine learning algorithms to identify key genes in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma and constructed a prediction model to predict the survival risk of HCC patients.

methodsThe transcriptome data and clinical information were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The differential expression analysis and COX proportional-hazards model participated in the identification of survival-related genes. K-Means, Random forests, and LASSO regression are involved in identifying novel subtypes of HCC and screening key genes. The prediction model was constructed by deep neural networks (DNN), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) reveals the metabolic pathways where key genes are located.

resultsTwo subtypes were identified with significantly different survival rates (p< 0.0001, AUC = 0.720) and 17 key genes associated with the subtypes. The accuracy rate of the deep neural network prediction model is greater than 93.3%. The GSEA analysis found that the survival-related genes were significantly enriched in hallmark gene sets in the MSigDB database.

conclusionsIn this study, we used machine learning algorithms to screen out 17 genes related to the survival risk of HCC patients, and trained a DNN model based on them to predict the survival risk of HCC patients. The genes that make up the model are all key genes that affect the formation and development of cancer.
