Recurrence Beyond the Milan Criteria of HBV-Related Single Hepatocellular Carcinoma of 2-3 cm: Comparison of Resection and Ablation.

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
backgroundComparison of patterns of early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence beyond the Milan criteria (HRBM) and identification of the independent risk factors of time to recurrence beyond the Milan criteria (TRBM) after resection or ablation can develop an optimal first-line treatment and provide more opportunities and waiting time for salvage transplantation.
methodsThe patterns of HRBM after first-line resection or ablation in 384 patients with single-nodule HBV-associated HCC of 2-3 cm were retrospectively analyzed by one-to-one propensity score matching (PSM) between December 2008 and December 2017. The median TRBM between the resection group and the ablation group was estimated by Kaplan-Meier curves. The Cox regression analysis and binary logistic regression were used for the identification of the independent risk factors of TRBM and the occurrence of HRBM, respectively. The abilities of HRBM and the recurrence to predict overall survival (OS) were compared by the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves and estimated area under the curve.
resultsOf 384 patients enrolled in our study, 260 (67.7%) received resection (resection group) and 124 (32.3%) underwent ablation (ablation group). The median TRBM in the resection group was significantly longer than that in the ablation group before PSM (median, not available
conclusionsCompared with ablation, resection should be considered as a more appropriate first-line option for patients with single-nodule HBV-associated HCC of 2-3 cm and a more promising bridge for liver transplantation in those patients.
