Prognostic factors, treatment methods and survival time in hepatocellular carcinoma: A decade of experience at a single center.
Article in Hepatology forum, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the etiology, prognostic factors, treatment methods, and effects of treatment on survival in cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of 158 patients diagnosed with HCC at a single hospital between the years 2000 and 2010. Results: The etiological factor of HCC was the hepatitis B virus (HBV) in 53.2% of the cases, the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 21.5%, alcohol use in 6.3%, HBV+alcohol in 5.7%, HCV+alcohol in 1.9%, HBV+HCV in 1.9%, and the cause was unknown in 9.5%. Of the 158 patients, 120 were treated at the study hospital, and complete follow-up data were available for 81. The mean length of follow-up was 17.9 months (range: 0.6-124 months). Multivariate analysis indicated that a lesion size >5 cm, Child-Pugh class C, a high creatinine level, and a distant metastasis were prognostic factors of reduced survival. Conclusion: HBV was the most frequent cause of HCC in this study group, followed by HCV. The most effective treatment methods for survival were liver transplantation and hepatic resection. A lesion size >5 cm, Child-Pugh class C, a high creatinine level, and distant metastasis were independent poor prognostic factors for survival.
