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

backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) on outcomes after hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsWe assessed 763 patients who underwent hepatic resection for HCC. The ACCI scores were categorized as follows: ACCI ≤ 5, ACCI = 6, and ACCI ≥ 7.

resultsA multivariate analysis showed that the odds ratios for postoperative complications in ACCI = 6 and ACCI ≥ 7 groups, with reference to ACCI ≤ 5 group, were 0.71 (p = 0.41) and 4.15 (p < 0.001), respectively. The hazard ratios for overall survival of ACCI = 6 and ACCI ≥ 7 groups, with reference to ACCI ≤ 5 group, were 1.52 (p = 0.023) and 2.45 (p < 0.001), respectively. The distribution of deaths due to HCC-related, liver-related, and other causes was 68.2%, 11.8%, and 20% in ACCI ≤ 5 group, 47.2%, 13.9%, and 38.9% in ACCI = 6 group, and 27.3%, 9.1%, and 63.6% in ACCI ≥ 7 group (p = 0.053; ACCI ≤ 5 vs. = 6, p = 0.19; ACCI = 6 vs. ≥ 7, p < 0.001; ACCI ≤ 5 vs. ≥ 7). In terms of the treatment for HCC recurrence in ACCI ≤ 5, ACCI = 6, and ACCI ≥ 7 groups, adaptation rate of surgical resection was 20.1%, 7.3%, and 11.1% and the rate of palliative therapy was 4.3%, 12.2%, and 22.2%, respectively.

conclusionsThe ACCI predicted the short-term and long-term outcomes after hepatic resection of HCC. These findings will help physicians establish a treatment strategy for HCC patients with comorbidities.
