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

Background: Clinical tools for predicting prognosis are limited for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC)-based hepatectomy. This study evaluated the prognostic significance of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) in patients with HCC who received HAIC-based hepatectomy. Methods: This dual-center retrospective study included 390 patients who received HAIC-based conversion resection to investigate the relationship of NLR and LMR with survival outcomes, adverse events, and risk factors. Results: A total of 390 patients with HCC who received HAIC-based conversion liver resection were included. Patients with NLR ≥ 5 exhibited a significantly shorter overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) compared to those with NLR < 5 ( Conclusion: NLR and LMR have an effective predictive capability in prognosis for patients with HCC who received HAIC-based conversion surgery. These findings may help surgeons and patients make decisions regarding HAIC-based conversion hepatectomy.
