Comparison between Child-Pugh score and Albumin-Bilirubin grade in the prognosis of patients with HCC after liver resection using time-dependent ROC.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers.
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.
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
backgroundsThe Child-Pugh score is a scoring system used to measure liver function and predict postoperative outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently, the Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) grade has been proposed for the evaluation of hepatic reserve function in HCC. This study aimed to assess and compare the capability of ALBI grade and Child-Pugh score in predicting overall survival (OS).
methodsA total of 196 consecutive HCC patients who treated with hepatectomy were enrolled in this retrospective study. The prognostic values of ALBI grade and Child-Pugh score in predicting postoperative OS were respectively estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and time-dependent receiver operating curves (ROC). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to investigate the prognostic factors for OS.
resultsStratified by the Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) system, there were 81 (41.3%) patients with grade 1 and 115 (58.7%) patients with grade 2. The cumulative 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates in patients with ALBI-1 were 82.7%, 51.5% and 35.5%, respectively. For patients with ALBI-2, the cumulative 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates were 57.6%, 19.4% and 0%, respectively. Based on the Child-Pugh classification, 136 (69.4%) patients had a score of 5, and 60 (30.6%) patients had a score of 6. Patients with Child-Pugh-A5 showed a better OS than those with Child-Pugh-A6, with respective OS at 1, 3 and 5 years (72.7%, 29.2%, 20.3%
conclusionsALBI grade supplied better prognostic performance and distribution of liver function than Child-Pugh score in stratifying prognosis for HCC patients treated by hepatectomy. These results declared that ALBI grade could be an alternative liver function grading system for stratification in patients with HCC.
