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

Lactylation-related genes (LRGs) exert a significant influence on tumor progression and are critically involved in modulating responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Leveraging a curated set of 332 LRGs derived from the literature, we identified prognosis-specific hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) clusters through consensus clustering analysis. Using an integrated bioinformatics approach, we systematically evaluated differences in immune microenvironment infiltration, somatic mutations, copy number variations, and epigenetic modifications between the two tumor subtypes. We subsequently developed a lactylation-related genes signature (LRGS) and independently validated its prognostic efficacy in the TCGA cohort. Notably, the high-LRGS group exhibited significantly reduced overall survival(OS) and diminished response to ICIs. Conversely, the high-LRGS group demonstrated heightened sensitivity to several antitumor agents, including AZD5153, cediranib, foretinib, and vorinostat, relative to the low-LRGS group. Our findings establish a robust LRGS model, offering a clinically actionable tool for prognostic assessment and precision therapy in HCC.
