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

backgroundIt is important to select appropriate patients for improving the outcomes of liver transplantation for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). The objective of this study was to establish a predictive model for the recurrence of iCCA after liver transplantation.

methodsTwenty-one patients who received liver transplantation for iCCA were used to construct a model for predicting recurrence. Predictors of recurrence were tested by a Cox model analysis. The results were validated in 28 patients who were followed up.

resultsDiameter and number of tumors, and CA19-9 level independently predicted tumor recurrence. At a Cox score threshold of 0.736 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.549-0.923], a model combining these factors was highly predictive of tumor recurrence and death. A simplified version of the model identified a cut-off value of 6. The 5-year OS rate was lower in patients with a score >6 points compared to those with a score ≤6 points (P=0.005). The 5-year recurrence rate was higher in patients with a score >6 points as compared to those with a score ≤6 points (P=0.034).

conclusionsThe model developed was useful for predicting recurrence of iCCA after liver transplantation. Large sample, multicenter studies are needed to validate the findings.
