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: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is one of the forms of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) dissemination, a phenomenon that is strongly correlated with an adverse prognosis. The transcription factor Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 387 HCC patients who underwent radical hepatectomy with lymph-node dissection between 2013 and 2021, among whom 57 were LNM-positive and the remaining 330 were negative. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves and compared by log-rank test; independent prognostic factors were identified with Cox proportional-hazards regression. Results: LNM, microvascular invasion (MVI), and the China Liver Cancer (CNLC) stage emerged as independent predictors of both shorter RFS and OS in the matched cohort; metastatic lymph nodes exhibited a 3.8-fold increase in Conclusions: In summation, this study established a correlation between LNM and diminished RFS and OS among HCC patients. Moreover, it demonstrated the significant role of
