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

backgroundPost-translational modification is crucial, with acetylation and deacetylation enzymes playing important roles. Their roles in liver cancer, however, remain unclear.

methodsIn this study, a KAT + KDAC score was developed to assess the prognosis and response to immunotherapy in liver cancer patients. The association of HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3 with patient prognosis was analyzed, and the PPI network was constructed. The correlation between the score and P53 mutation status, stage, and TNM staging was also investigated. Additionally, the response to chemotherapy was evaluated. The TIDE score was also assessed.

resultsOur analysis showed that HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3 are highly associated with patient prognosis and are centrally located in the PPI network. Patients with high KAT + KDAC scores had a better prognosis, and the score correlated with P53 mutation status, stage, and TNM staging. Notably, patients with low KAT + KDAC scores demonstrate resistance to cisplatin and gemcitabine, and have a lower TIDE score. Moreover, the KAT + KDAC score accurately predicted patient response to immunotherapy.

conclusionThe KAT + KDAC modification pattern is critical in the initiation and progression of liver cancer. This score can be used to predict patient prognosis and immunotherapy response. Future studies are needed to further explore the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic applications.
