Identification of Safety Biomarkers for Autologous Blood Transfusion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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) represents the predominant form of primary liver cancer, constituting 75%-85% of all liver cancer cases. Despite advances in understanding HCC mechanisms and treatment options, challenges remain and further research is needed to uncover new therapeutic targets and improve patient outcomes. intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) is an important surgical method that minimises the necessity for transfusions of donor blood, improves haemodynamic stability and may enhance recovery. This study aims to identify safety biomarkers for autologous blood transfusion in HCC patients. We conducted a prospective case-control study on 80 HCC patients undergoing radical surgery. Blood and tumour tissues were collected for analysis. The control group provided blood directly from the surgical site without IOCS processing, while the experimental group used blood collected through the IOCS system. Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assays, immunofluorescence, Western blot and qRT-PCR techniques were employed to assess the expression of key proteins and microRNAs. Comparable demographic and baseline clinical characteristics were observed between groups. The experimental group showed significantly improved pathological features, with an increase in PTEN-positive cells and upregulated protein expression of PTEN, mTOR, c-Met and IGF1R. Additionally, miRNA levels (miRNA-21, miRNA-122, miRNA-223, miRNA-199a and miRNA-375) were significantly reduced in the experimental group (p < 0.05), while mRNA levels for PTEN, mTOR, c-Met, YAP1 and IGF1R were significantly upregulated (p < 0.05). IOCS has a positive impact on liver tissue pathology in HCC patients by reducing apoptosis and modulating key molecular pathways. These findings suggest that IOCS could be a valuable therapeutic strategy for HCC, potentially guiding future treatment approaches and improving patient outcomes.
