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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a deadly cancer with limited treatment options for patients at advanced stages. It is urgent to develop reliable prognostic risk models and identify more biomarkers to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with HCC. Disulfidptosis is a newly discovered form of regulated cell death (RCD), and research on the comprehensive roles of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) in HCC prognosis and development remains limited. In this paper, we systematically analyzed the expression levels and prognostic profiles of 26 DRGs in HCC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort and developed a prognostic risk model using seven hub DRGs. The independent prognostic value of the risk model was further validated in the external cohort. The overall survival of patients with HCC in the low-risk group was significantly longer than that of those in the high-risk group. Subsequently, the protein level of CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) was found to be highly expressed in HCC clinical tissues and associated with the severity of HCC. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the down-regulation of CD2AP attenuated the proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) abilities of HCC cells. Taken together, our study revealed that the DRG CD2AP may serve as a potential biomarker for HCC and offer support for prognosis prediction of patients with HCC.
