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

Purpose: To explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of AI-quantified MRI tumor volume for assessing pathologic response in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) after hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy plus targeted therapy and immunotherapy (HAIC-TI). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 35 patients (46 lesions) who underwent HAIC-TI followed by hepatectomy. AI was used to calculate the tumor enhancement volume ratio (TEVR) from MRI. Correlation analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between TEVR and pathological tissue proportions. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve determined the optimal cutoff for the ratio of viable tumor cells (RVTCs) to define major pathological response (MPR). The diagnostic performance of AI for MPR and its prognostic significance in recurrence-free survival (RFS) were assessed. Results: TEVR in portal venous phase is strongly correlated with non-necrotic tissue ratio (r = 0.89, Conclusion: AI-based MRI quantification of TEVR effectively reflected pathologic response and served as a non-invasive prognostic marker for postoperative recurrence in uHCC patients after HAIC-TI.
