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

purposeCharacterizing the composition of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and peritumoral micro-environment may provide sensitive biomarkers. We aimed to predict the recurrence-free survival (RFS) of HCC (≤ 5 cm) with habitat imaging of HCC and its peritumoral micro-environment. MATERIAL AND

methodsA total of 264 patients with HCC were included. Taking advantage of the enhancement ratio at the arterial and hepatobiliary phase of contrast-enhanced MRI, all HCCs and their peritumoral tissue of 3 mm and 4 mm were encoded with different habitats. Besides, the quantitative fraction of each habitat of HCC and peritumoral tissue were calculated. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis was performed to select the prognostic factors. The nomogram-based predictor was established. Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted to stratify the recurrence risk. Fivefold cross-validation was performed to determine the predictive performance with the concordance index (C-Index). Decision curve analysis was used to evaluate the net benefit.

resultsQualitatively, the spatial distribution of the habitats varied for different survival outcomes. Quantitatively, the fraction of habitat 3 in peritumoral tissue of 4 mm (f

conclusionHabitat imaging of HCC and peritumoral microenvironment can be used for effectively and non-invasively estimating the RFS, which holds potential in guiding clinical management and decision making.
