Risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma rupture: multicentre retrospective study.
Article in BJS open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rupture is a life-threatening complication associated with poor prognosis. This study comprehensively analysed risk factors for HCC rupture and developed a predictive model supplemented by machine learning models for early risk identification and clinical decision-making.
methodsThis retrospective study analysed patients with and without HCC rupture from tertiary centres in China between January 2016 and June 2019. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce baseline differences between the rupture and non-rupture groups. Random forest and deep learning models were developed to enhance predictive accuracy and interpret variable importance. Model performance was evaluated using metrics such as precision, recall, and the F1 score across training, validation, and test cohorts.
resultsAmong the 5952 HCC patients, the median follow-up duration was 48.6 months. Key risk factors for HCC rupture identified in this study include cirrhosis, protrusion ratio, and tumour maximum length. The CAPTure nomogram, constructed based on these predictors, yielded area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.857, 0.824, and 0.840 in the training, validation, and test cohorts, respectively. In the test cohort, the random forest and deep learning models achieved AUCs of 0.870 and 0.872, respectively.
conclusionThis study provides a comprehensive analysis of risk factors for HCC rupture and introduces the CAPTure model as a practical and accurate tool for clinical use. By integrating traditional and machine learning approaches, the findings of this study offer robust methods for early risk assessment, resource optimization, and improved management of HCC rupture.
