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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesPrevious studies have reported that the microvascular invasion three-tiered grading (MiVI-TTG) scheme is a better prognostic predictor than the two-tiered microvascular invasion (MiVI) grading scheme in hepatocellular carcinoma. This study aims to explore the prognostic significance of MiVI-TTG in patients undergoing liver resection for combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC) and to explore the risk factors for MiVI in cHCC.

methodsThis research included 208 patients graded as M0, M1, or M2 using the MiVI-TTG scheme. Predictive performance was assessed by Cox regression analysis, Kaplan-Meier curve with Log rank test, Harrell's c-index, and time-dependent areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (tdAUC). The clinical utility of the two schemes was evaluated by decision cure analysis (DCA). The risk factors for MiVI were evaluated using logistic regression analysis.

resultsAmong 208 cHCC patients, the proportions of M0, M1 and M2 were 38.9%, 36.5%, and 24.5%, respectively. Patients with severe MiVI status had worse recurrence-free survival and overall survival (OS) based on Kaplan-Meier analysis. M1, M2, and MiVI-positive were independent risk factors for early recurrence, while M2 and MiVI-positive were associated with overall survival (OS). MiVI-TTG had a larger c-index, tdAUC, and net benefit rate than the two-tiered MiVI grading scheme for predicting recurrence free survival and OS. AFP≥400 ng/ml was the independent risk factor for MiVI, and satellite nodules were independent risk factors for M2.

conclusionsMiVI-TTG has a greater prognostic value than the two-tiered MiVI grading scheme in patients undergoing hepatic resection for cHCC.
