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

purposeTo describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with dual-phenotype hepatocellular carcinoma (DPHCC) and investigate the use of radiomics to establish an image-based signature for preoperative differential diagnosis.

methodsThis study included 50 patients with a postoperative pathological diagnosis of DPHCC (observation group) and 50 patients with CK7- and CK19-negative HCC (control group) who attended our hospital between January 2015 and December 2018. All patients underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI within 1 month before surgery. Arterial phase (AP), portal venous phase (PVP), delayed phase (DP) and hepatobiliary phase (HBP) images were transferred into a radiomics platform. Volumes of interest covered the whole tumor. The dimensionality of the radiomics features were reduced using LASSO. Four classifiers, including multi-layer perceptron (MLP), support vector machines (SVM), logistic regression (LR) and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) were used to distinguish DPHCC from CK7- and CK19-negative HCC. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to assess 1-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in the observation and control groups.

resultsThe best preoperative diagnostic power for DPHCC will likely be derived from a combination of different phases and classifiers. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of LR in PVP (0.740, 0.780, 0.766), DP (0.893, 0.700, 0.798), HBP (0.800, 0.720, 0.756) and MLP in PVP (0.880, 0.720, 0.798) were better performance. The 1-year DFS and OS of the patients in the observation group were 69% and 78%, respectively. The 1-year DFS and OS of the patients in the control group were 83% and 85%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed no statistical difference in DFS and OS between groups (P = 0.231 and 0.326), but DFS and OS were numerically lower in patients with DPHCC.

conclusionThe radiomics features extracted from Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MR images can be used to diagnose preoperative DPHCC. DPHCC is more likely to recur and cause death than HCC, suggesting that active postoperative management of patients with DPHCC is required.
