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

backgroundPrimary liver cancer (PLC) is characterized by high malignancy, rapid disease progression, and persistent high incidence and mortality rates, posing a significant public health challenge worldwide. Early diagnosis and assessment of PLC are of great significance for guiding clinical treatment and improving patient prognosis. Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) are commonly utilized tumor markers for the clinical diagnosis of PLC. They are ideal indicators for the detection of metastasis and recurrence after LC surgery. Nevertheless, not all patients with PLC secrete large amounts of AFP and GGT, which affects the accuracy of evaluating PLC by monitoring these two tumor markers alone. Cluster of differentiation 3 and 161 double-positive natural killer T (CD3

aimTo probe the clinical significance of CD3

methodsThe PLC group comprised 30 patients diagnosed with PLC who were admitted to our hospital between July 2022 and December 2023, whereas the control group consisted of 30 healthy individuals undergoing routine physical examinations at our hospital. Peripheral blood samples were harvested from both cohorts of patients. The levels of CD4

resultsNo significant disparities were observed in the counts of white blood cells, neutrophils, and platelets, as well as the levels of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine between the two groups (
