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

backgroundRadiomics can be used to determine the prognosis of liver cancer, but it might vary among cancer types. This study aimed to explore the clinicopathological features, radiomics, and survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), mass-type cholangiocarcinoma (MCC), and combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (CHCC).

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of patients with primary liver cancer operated at the department of hepatobiliary surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University from 07/2013 to 11/2015. All patients underwent preoperative liver enhanced MRI scans and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The radiomics characteristics of DWI and the enhanced equilibrium phase (EP) images were extracted. The mRMR (minimum redundancy maximum relevance) was applied to filter the parameters.

resultsThere were 44 patients with MCC, 59 with HCC, and 33 with CHCC. Macrovascular invasion, tumor diameter, positive ferritin preoperatively, positive AFP preoperatively, positive CEA preoperatively, Correlation, Inverse Difference Moment, and Cluster Prominence in model A (DWI and clinicopathological parameters) were independently associated with overall survival (OS) (P<0.05). Lymphadenopathy, gender, positive ferritin preoperatively, positive AFP preoperatively, positive CEA preoperatively, Uniformity, and Cluster Prominence in model B (EP and clinicopathological parameters) were independently associated with OS (P<0.05). Macrovascular invasion, lymphadenopathy, gender, positive ferritin preoperatively, positive CEA preoperatively, Uniformity_EP, GLCMEnergy_DWI, and Cluster Prominence_EP in model C (image texture and clinicopathological parameters) were independently associated with OS (P<0.05). Those factors were used to construct three nomograms to predict OS.

conclusionsClinicopathological and radiomics features are independently associated with the OS of patients with primary liver cancer.
