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: In this study, we developed a nomogram based on the platelet-albumin-bilirubin (PALBI) score to predict recurrence-free survival (RFS) after curative resection in alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-negative (≤20 ng/mL) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Patients and Methods: A total of 194 pathologically confirmed AFP-negative HCC patients were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to screen the independent risk factors associated with RFS, and a nomogram prediction model for RFS was established according to the independent risk factors. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the C-index were used to evaluate the accuracy and the efficacy of the model prediction. The correction curve was used to assess the calibration of the prediction model, and decision curve analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical application value of the prediction model. Results: PALBI score, MVI, and tumor size were independent risk factors for postoperative tumor recurrence ( Conclusion: The nomogram based on the PALBI score can predict RFS after curative resection in AFP-negative HCC patients and can help clinicians to screen out high-risk patients for early intervention.
