A novel combined C-reactive protein-albumin ratio and modified albumin-bilirubin score can predict long-term outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatic resection.

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: Systemic inflammatory response represented by C-reactive protein and albumin ratio (CAR) and modified albumin-bilirubin (mALBI) grade both have been associated with long-term outcome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we investigated the prognostic utility of combined score of CAR and mALBI score to predict the prognosis of HCC patients after hepatic resection. Methods: This study included 214 patients who had undergone primary hepatic resection for HCC between 2008 and 2018. Systemic inflammatory response and mALBI were evaluated preoperatively and patients were classified into three groups based on the combination of CAR and mALBI score: low CAR and low mALBI grade (score 0), either high CAR or high mALBI grade (score 1), and both high CAR and high mALBI grade ≥2b (score 2). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were conducted to assess disease-free and overall survival. Results: In multivariate analysis, sex ( Conclusions: CAR-mALBI score is associated with disease-free and overall survival in patients with HCC after hepatic resection, suggesting the importance of evaluating both hepatic functional reserve and host-inflammatory state in the risk assessment of HCC patients.
