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.

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.

Abstract

Purpose To develop a combined contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) clinical model for the prediction of macrotrabecular-massive hepatocellular carcinoma (MTM HCC) and evaluate its diagnostic and prognostic values. Materials and Methods This secondary analysis of a prospective multicenter study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04682886) included participants from three independent cohorts who underwent CEUS and surgical resection for HCC between January 2017 and December 2022. Two radiologists independently reviewed CEUS data, and the interreader agreement was evaluated. Logistic regression was performed using the training cohort to determine the predictors associated with MTM HCC, while the validation cohort was used to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic values of the predictors. Results A total of 387 participants (mean age, 55.09 years ± 10.33 [SD]; 342 male) were included. Four clinical and CEUS features were associated with MTM HCC: early washout (before 60 seconds) (odds ratio [OR]: 8.82 [95% CI: 4.22, 18.64],
