The epigenetic basis of hepatocellular carcinoma - mechanisms and potential directions for biomarkers and therapeutics.
Review in British journal of cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 46 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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth leading cancer worldwide and has complex pathogenesis due to its heterogeneity, along with poor prognoses. Diagnosis is often late as current screening methods have limited sensitivity for early HCC. Moreover, current treatment regimens for intermediate-to-advanced HCC have high resistance rates, no robust predictive biomarkers, and limited survival benefits. A deeper understanding of the molecular biology of HCC may enhance tumor characterization and targeting of key carcinogenic signatures. The epigenetic landscape of HCC includes complex hallmarks of 1) global DNA hypomethylation of oncogenes and hypermethylation of tumor suppressors; 2) histone modifications, altering chromatin accessibility to upregulate oncogene expression, and/or suppress tumor suppressor gene expression; 3) genome-wide rearrangement of chromatin loops facilitating distal enhancer-promoter oncogenic interactions; and 4) RNA regulation via translational repression by microRNAs (miRNAs) and RNA modifications. Additionally, it is useful to consider etiology-specific epigenetic aberrancies, especially in viral hepatitis and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which are the main risk factors of HCC. This article comprehensively explores the epigenetic signatures in HCC, highlighting their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Additionally, we examine how etiology-specific epigenetic patterns and the integration of epigenetic therapies with immunotherapy could advance personalized HCC treatment strategies.
