Alpha-fetoprotein as a prognostic factor in alpha-fetoprotein-negative hepatocellular carcinoma - integration into post-resection prognostic nomograms.

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
Introduction: This study aimed to validate the prognostic value of alpha- fetoprotein (AFP) in AFP-negative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and develop an AFP-integrated nomogram for post-resection recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Material and methods: This retrospective study analyzed 453 HCC patients with preoperative AFP ≤ 20 ng/ml who underwent curative resection, divided into training ( Results: An alpha-fetoprotein cutoff of 7 ng/ml stratified patients for both RFS and OS ( Conclusions: Alpha-fetoprotein retains prognostic value even within the clinically normal range for HCC. The AFP-integrated post-resection nomograms demonstrated acceptable predictive performance for AFP-negative patients, potentially enhancing personalized management strategies.
