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

backgroundTo investigate the differences of clinicopathological characteristics and computed tomography (CT) features between intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (ICC) with and without peritumoral Glisson's sheath invasion (PGSI), and to construct a nomogram to predict PGSI of ICCs preoperatively.

methodsThe clinicopathological characteristics and CT features of 84 ICCs were retrospectively analyzed and compared between ICCs with (30/84, 35.7%) and without PGSI (54/84, 64.3%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify preoperative independent predictors of PGSI in ICCs. A nomogram was constructed to predict PGSI preoperatively.

resultsICCs with and without PGSI differed significantly in the presence of abdominal pain, serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels, TNM and T stages, tumor location, intratumoral calcifications, intrahepatic bile duct dilatation, intrahepatic bile duct calculus, morphologic type and dynamic enhancement pattern on CT images (all P<0.05). Abdominal pain, serum CEA level, intrahepatic bile duct dilatation, and morphologic type were independent predictors of PGSI in ICCs. A nomogram based on those predictors was constructed to predict PGSI preoperatively with an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 0.908 (P<0.001).

conclusionsClinicopathological characteristics and CT features differed significantly between ICCs with and without PGSI. A nomogram including abdominal pain, serum CEA level, intrahepatic bile duct dilatation, and morphologic type could predict PGSI accurately.
