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
backgroundIt is of important clinical significance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients to evaluate prognosis before interventional embolotherapy.
methodsA total of 106 patients with HCC after interventional embolotherapy who had complete data with follow-up information until September 2019 were included in this study. These data were analyzed using SPSS Version 22.0 and R (version 3.6.1) statistical software.
results1) The diameter of the tumor, ascites, FIT, AFP, ALT, AST, GGT, and Child-Pugh score had the ability to predict the prognosis and survival of patients with HCC. Among these molecules, the predictive effectiveness (or the area under the receiver operating characteristic [ROC] curve) of GGT was the highest, although it was slightly lower than the predictive effectiveness of the Child-Pugh score, which is the gold standard for survival analysis. 2) Among survival analyses combining five molecular indicators, the predictive postoperative viability for combination 1 was the strongest with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.856 (0.779, 0.932), similar to the all-molecular combination (combination 16) with an AUC of 0.872 (0.798, 0.945), but much higher than that of the Child-Pugh score of 0.720 (0.616, 0.823) for HCC patients (all p<0.05). 3) Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that the 3-year cumulative survival rates were 55.3% for low-risk patients and 2.6% for high-risk patients.
conclusionA combined prediction model can determine the optimal combination of preoperative routine detection indices in patients with HCC intervention, and ROC curve analysis can quantify the efficacy of these indices in the survival and prognosis of HCC. Interestingly, combination 1 showed stronger predictive capability than the Child-Pugh score in predicting death risks for postoperative patients with HCC. When combination 1 has several missing clinical data, these combination prediction models (12, 3, 7, 13, 16) are also a replaceable choice. These findings may have important clinical significance in the formulation of individualized medical programs.
