Survival analysis and development of a prognostic nomogram for patients with hepatitis B virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 aims: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a common cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in China, and this study aimed to identify high-risk factors for overall survival and develop a nomogram prediction model. Methods: In the present retrospective cohort study, patients with HBV-associated HCC diagnosed from January 2009 to December 2018 were enrolled. Their clinical characteristics and time-to-event information were retrieved from electronic medical records. The zero time was the date of HCC diagnosis, and the endpoint was death or liver transplantation. Multivariable COX proportional hazard regression was used to screen independent risk factors for overall survival; then a nomogram model was developed to predict the survival probability of HCC patients. Results: A total of 1723 patients were enrolled, with 82.7 % male and a median age of 54.0 years. During a median follow-up time of 41.3 months, 672 cases (39.0 %) died. Age ≥60 years (HR = 1.209), Male (HR = 1.293), ALB <35 g/L (HR = 1.491), AST ≥80 U/L (HR = 1.818); AFP 20-400 ng/mL (HR = 2.284), AFP ≥400 ng/mL (HR = 2.746); LSM 9-22 kPa (HR = 2.266), LSM ≥22 kPa (HR = 4.326); BCLC stage B/C (HR = 4.079) and BCLC stage D (HR = 16.830) were the independent high-risk factors associated with HCC survival. A prognostic nomogram with a consistency index of 0.842 (95 % CI: 0.827-0.858) was developed. The calibration curve for long-term survival rate fitted well. Conclusions: This study identified independent risk factors affecting the survival of patients with HBV-associated HCC and constructed a predictive nomogram model, which can individually predict the overall survival and has good clinical application value.
