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

objectivesTo explore the usefulness of spleen radiomics features based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in predicting early and late recurrences of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after curative resection.

methodsThis retrospective study included 237 HCC patients who underwent CECT and curative resection between January 2006 to January 2016. Radiomic features were extracted from CECT images, and then the spleen radiomics signatures and the tumor radiomics signatures were built. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify the independent risk factors of early and late recurrences. Then, multiple models were built to predict the recurrence-free survival of HCC after resection, and the incremental value of the radiomics signature to the clinicopathologic model was assessed and validated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to assess the association of the models with RFS.

resultsThe spleen radiomics signature was independent risk factor of early recurrence of HCC. The mixed model that integrated microvascular invasion, tumor radiomics signature and spleen radiomics signature for the prediction of early recurrence achieved the highest C-index of 0.780 (95% CI: 0.728,0.831) in the primary cohort and 0.776 (95% CI: 0.716,0.836) in the validation cohort, and presented better predictive performance than clinicopathological model and combined model. In the analysis of late recurrence, the spleen radiomics signature was the only prognostic factor associated with late recurrence of HCC.

conclusionsThe identified spleen radiomics signatures are prognostic factors of both early and late recurrences of HCC patients after surgery and improve the predictive performance of model for early recurrence.
