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

backgroundDespite great advances in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management regarding hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the overall prognosis of HCC remains unfavorable. The expression profile, prognostic role, and biological functions of F-box-only protein 43 (FBXO43) in HCC remain unclear. Here, we determine the expression profile and prognostic value of FBXO43 in patients with HCC. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 467 HCC patients and their clinicopathological data were collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University, the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases. The expression profile, prognostic value, biological functions, and underlying mechanism of its involvement of FBXO43 were explored based on TCGA, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), LinkedOmics, and Cancer Dependency Map (DepMap). The expression of FBXO43 in 93 paired liver tissues was investigated via immunohistochemical staining, tissue microarray analysis, and Western blot. The prognostic value was assessed using survival analysis.

resultsFBXO43 RNA was upregulated in HCC liver tissues and was associated with an unfavorable prognosis (p < 0.05). Furthermore, FBXO43 protein was overexpressed in HCC liver tissues compared with that in paired normal liver tissues. Overexpression of FBXO43 protein was significantly associated with advanced TNM stage, large tumor size, lymphatic invasion, distant metastasis, earlier cancer recurrence, and decreased overall survival after radical surgery (p < 0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that FBXO43 had significant prognostic value in HCC. Importantly, FBXO43 and its co-expressed genes were mainly involved in cell cycle regulation, DNA replication, metabolic regulation, and so on. FBXO43 knockdown could significantly affect the HCC cell lines growth and proliferation.

conclusionsWe first revealed that FBXO43 was overexpressed in liver HCC tissues at the RNA and protein levels and served as an independent prognostic factor for HCC patients. Therefore, FBXO43 is worth investigating as a potential HCC treatment target.
