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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the use of radiomics features and clinical information by four machine learning algorithms for predicting the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have been treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods: A total of 105 patients with HCC treated with TACE from 2002 to 2012 were enrolled retrospectively and randomly divided into two cohorts for training ( Results: A total of 1,834 radiomics features were extracted from the computed tomography images of each patient. The clinical risk factors for HCC prognosis were age at diagnosis, TNM stage, and metastasis, which were analyzed using univariate Cox regression. In various models, the efficacy of the combined models generally surpassed that of the radiomics and clinical models. Among four machine learning algorithms, XGBoost exhibited the best performance in combined models, achieving an AUC of 0.979 in the training set and 0.750 in the testing set, demonstrating its strong prognostic prediction capability. Conclusion: The superior performance of the XGBoost-based combined model underscores its potential as a powerful tool for enhancing the precision of prognostic assessments for patients with HCC.
