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

Purpose: The aims of this study were to identify the prognosis-related risk factors for HCC patients after surgery and to develop a predictive model by analysing the medical records of 152 HCC patients in our hospital. Patients and Methods: Univariate Cox regression analysis was applied to identify potential risk factors for HCC patients after surgery and to determine independent prognosis-related risk factors by multivariate analysis. Subsequently, a nomogram model was developed based on all independent factors and was validated by a validation set. Calibration and receiver operating characteristic curves were employed to evaluate the accuracy of the model. Finally, decision curve analyses were used to assess its clinical utility. Results: The univariate Cox regression analysis indicated that the patient's age, sex, grade, different AJCC TNM stages, vascular invasion, lymphatic infiltration, and tumour size were potential prognostic-related risk factors for HCC patients (p < 0.2), and the findings of multivariate analysis revealed that grade, different AJCC TNM stages, vascular invasion, and lymphatic infiltration were independent prognostic-related risk factors for HCC patients (p < 0.05). Subsequently, we constructed a prognosis-related prediction model based on all independent prognostic predictors and validated it with internal and external validation sets. The validation results indicated that the prediction model showed good accuracy (AUC = 0.81, 0.728) and consistency. More importantly, decision curve analysis illustrated that the nomogram model is a practical tool for predicting prognosis. Conclusion: This study found that grade, different AJCC TNM stages, vascular invasion, and lymphatic infiltration were independent prognosis-related predictors for HCC patients after surgery, and a nomogram model built on these predictors exhibited great accuracy and clinical usefulness.
