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

Non-viral hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tends to appear in non-cirrhotic livers, rendering it difficult to screen for a high-risk group. The present study aimed to identify the most suitable indicator for screening high-risk groups of non-viral HCC. A total of 190 patients with non-viral HCC, including 126 with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), were enrolled in the present study. A total of two cut-off values, for low and high levels of fibrosis, were set for each of the indicators, including the Child-Pugh score (CPS; 6 and 7), platelet counts (15.8 and 10x10
