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

backgroundLiver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) is a serious liver disease worldwide, and its pathogenesis is complicated.

aimsThis study investigated the potential role of FANCA in the advancement and prognosis of LIHC.

methodsPublic databases, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were employed to measure FANCA expression between tumor and normal samples. The relationship between FANCA expression and prognosis of LIHC patients were examined. Functional enrichment of FANCA-related genes was performed. Furthermore, univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to determine the independent prognosis value of FANCA in LIHC. Finally, influence of FANCA knockout on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HepG2 cell was validated with cloning formation, CCK8, and Transwell assays.

resultsExpression analysis presented that FANCA had high expression level in LIHC tissues and cells. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that FANCA was of great diagnosis value in LIHC. Clinicopathological analysis revealed that FANCA was significantly greater expressed in the advanced stage than in the early stage of LIHC. Univariate, multivariate, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis confirmed that high expression of FANCA was strongly associated with poor survival of LIHC patients. In addition, high level of FANCA in LIHC showed a negative association with immunoinfiltrated B cells, T cells, and stromal scores. Moreover, Knockout of FANCA significantly inhibited HepG2 cell proliferative activity, migration, and invasion ability.

conclusionsOur data revealed that high level of FANCA was closely associated with LIHC malignant progression, suggesting its potential utility as a diagnostic, predictive indicator, and therapeutic target.
