A novel prognostic time window based on conditional survival and outcomes analyses of primary liver cancer patients.

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
backgroundLiver cancer is one of the most deadly and prevalent cancers. A routine follow-up plan for liver cancer is crucial but limited. In the present study, we aimed to disclose possible risk factors and critical survival time windows for primary liver cancer.
methodsWe enrolled 692 liver cancer patients from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses of cirrhosis and recurrence were conducted. A meta-analysis was utilized to validate an indication of creatinine (CRE) in recurrence. Conditional survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. The results were further verified by the SYSUCC validation cohort and Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) validation cohort.
resultsOur results indicated that A/G, history of hepatitis, history of alcohol consumption and platelet (PLT) might be potential prognostic factors for cirrhosis in liver cancer patients. CRE was significantly correlated with recurrence due to various therapies, especially after transarterial embolization. Moreover, 1.5 years to 2 years may be a critical time window for deterioration in survival rate based on the conditional survival analysis.
conclusionA/G, history of hepatitis, alcohol consumption and PLT may be potential prognostic factors for cirrhosis in liver cancer patients. More attention should be focused on the renal function when treating the patients due to the significant role of CRE. 1.5 years to 2 years is a critical time window for deterioration in survival rate for liver cancer patients that contributes to determining the optimal follow-up plan in the future.
