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

purposeThe objective of our study was to evaluate the value of two-trait predictor of venous invasion (TTPVI) in the prediction of pathological microvascular invasion (pMVI) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from preoperative computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR).

methodsA total of 128 preoperative patients with findings of HCC were enrolled. Tumor size, tumor margins, tumor capsule, peritumoral enhancement, and TTPVI was assessed on preoperative CT and MRI images. Histopathological features were reviewed: pathological tumor size, tumor differentiation, pMVI along with alpha-fetoprotein level (AFP). Significant imaging findings and histopathological features were determined with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.

resultsUnivariate analysis revealed that tumor size (

conclusionTumor size, tumor differentiation, and TTPVI depicted in preoperative CT and MRI had a statistically significant correlation with pMVI. Hence, TTPVI detected on CT and MRI may be predictive of pMVI in HCC cases.
