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 and cholangiocarcinoma, the two predominant histological subtypes of primary liver cancer, are characterized by a high global incidence and poor prognosis. Moreover, the therapeutic options are still limited, with surgical intervention being the predominant approach. Anchorage-Dependent Cell Death (Anoikis) is a form of regulated cell death triggered by the detachment of cells from their extracellular matrix, is crucial for maintaining tissue homeostasis. However, tumor cells often evade anoikis, a capability that is essential for their survival in the bloodstream and subsequent metastasis. Our study classified liver cancer into two distinct subtypes, C1 and C2, based on the differential expression of anoikis-related genes. Subtype C1 patients exhibited elevated expression of BRMS1, PTK2, and CASP8, which could serve as potential therapeutic targets for anoikis-based treatments. Conversely, subtype C2 patients showed higher expression of NTRK2, STAT3, SIK1, AKT1, and EGFR, suggesting these genes as promising therapeutic targets for C2 subtype liver cancer. Furthermore, employing Weighted Correlation Network analysis, machine learning models, and experimental validation, we identified NPY1R and HGF as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer.
