Assessment of serum Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer as a potential marker for hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic hepatitis C patients.

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
Aim of the study: To assess the serum level of Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer as a potential biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) cirrhotic patients. Material and methods: Ninety patients were separated into two groups for the current research. Group I consisted of 45 patients with HCV that resulted in liver cirrhosis but no HCC. Group II consisted of 45 patients who had HCC and hepatic cirrhosis caused by HCV. Each patient underwent a complete clinical examination, thorough history taking, and laboratory tests, serum Mac-2 BPGI, abdominal ultrasound and triphasic computed tomography (CT) of the liver. Results: Serum Mac-2 BPGI was significantly higher in group II than group I and was statistically significantly higher in patients with portal vein invasion and in patients with lymph node metastases than those without, there was a statistically significant difference between mean values of serum M2BPGI, the BCLC score was higher in group C, and also a significant positive relation between tumor size and serum M2BPGI was found. Conclusions: Serum Mac-2 BPGI can be used as diagnostic and prognostic markers for HCC.
