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

The dramatic shift in human behavior from hunter-gatherer to modern lifestyles has led to a systematic disruption of the human circadian cycle. Contributors include night-shift work, jet lag, and less intuitive but widespread factors, such as exposure to artificial light at night and irregular eating schedules. Circadian disruption is classified as a Group 2A carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most deadly cancer worldwide, with a rising prevalence in Western countries, largely driven by increasing rates of obesity and steatotic liver disease-associated hepatocarcinogenesis. Emerging evidence suggests that circadian disruption plays a significant role in HCC pathogenesis. Several genes involved in metabolism, cell survival, and immunosurveillance are under the control of circadian rhythms. Experimental preclinical data and epidemiological studies have indicated a strong association between circadian disruption and HCC development. Moreover, molecular signatures related to circadian regulation appear to accurately predict the prognosis of patients with HCC. The concept of chronotherapy is also gaining interest, with studies suggesting improved immunotherapy effectiveness when immune checkpoint inhibitors are administered in the morning. This review summarizes the current literature on the impact of circadian disruption on HCC pathogenesis, prognosis, and treatment.
