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

backgroundThe albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade was developed to predict the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which can stratify the prognosis even in HCC patients with Child-Pugh A. We evaluated the prognostic efficacy of the ALBI grade and Child-Pugh classification in HCC patients with Child-Pugh A stratified by the presence or absence of advanced fibrosis or a preoperative biomarker for advanced fibrosis.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 490 consecutive HCC patients with Child-Pugh A who underwent initial hepatectomies. The accuracy of prognostic prediction using both models was compared by the presence or absence of advanced fibrosis (F3-4) and its predictor, the preoperative platelet count (PLT).

resultsThe prognostic accuracy of the ALBI grade was better in patients without advanced fibrosis (F3-4; likelihood ratio: 4.39, corrected Akaike information criterion [AICc]: 453.0,

conclusionsDepending on the degree of fibrosis or preoperative PLT, the ALBI grade and Child-Pugh score may provide more accurate prognoses after initial hepatectomy in HCC patients with Child-Pugh A.
