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

Objective: This study aimed to identify independent predictors of early recurrence (ER) and to establish a clinically applicable, individualized nomogram for patients with solitary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (PA-TACE). Methods: A total of 165 patients with solitary HCC treated with PA-TACE between January 2018 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among these patients, 71 experienced ER, while 94 remained recurrence-free for over 24 months. Independent prognostic variables were identified through univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. These factors were integrated into a nomogram model, and its performance was evaluated using internal validation and calibration curves. Results: Multivariate analysis revealed that AFP-L3% >10% ( Conclusion: A nomogram incorporating AFP-L3, satellite lesions, GLR, MVI, and Ki-67 for predicting ER in patients with solitary HCC following PA-TACE was developed and validated. This model exhibits high predictive accuracy and provides a valuable tool for identifying patients who may benefit from PA-TACE.
