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

objectivesPretreatment evaluation of tumor biology and microenvironment is important to predict prognosis and plan treatment. We aimed to develop nomograms based on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI to predict microvascular invasion (MVI), tumor differentiation, and immunoscore.

methodsThis retrospective study included 273 patients with HCC who underwent preoperative gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI. Patients were assigned to two groups: training (N = 191) and validation (N = 82). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate clinical variables and MRI features' associations with MVI, tumor differentiation, and immunoscore. Nomograms were developed based on features associated with these three histopathological features in the training cohort, then validated, and evaluated.

resultsPredictors of MVI included tumor size, rim enhancement, capsule, percent decrease in T1 images (T1

conclusionMRI-based nomograms effectively predict tumor behaviors in HCC and may assist clinicians in prognosis prediction and pretreatment decisions. KEY POINTS: • This study developed and validated three nomograms based on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI to predict MVI, tumor differentiation, and immunoscore in patients with HCC. • The pretreatment prediction of tumor microenvironment may be useful to guide accurate prognosis and planning of surgical and immunological therapies for individual patients with HCC.
