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

Objectives: To develop a non-invasive model for the preoperative prediction of Cytokeratin 19 (CK19) expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on clinical, radiologic, habitat radiomics, and deep learning features using gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI, and to assess its utility for RFS risk stratification. Methods: In this retrospective study, 539 patients with HCC from two hospitals were divided into training (n = 266), internal (n = 114), and external (n = 159) test sets. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted on clinical and radiologic features to develop a clinical-radiologic model. Habitat radiomics and deep learning (DL) features were extracted and selected to develop the Habitat and DL models, respectively. The DL-HR nomogram model incorporating clinical, radiologic, habitat radiomics, and deep learning features was developed and evaluated. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis assessed recurrence-free survival (RFS) in the CK19-positive (CK19+) and CK19-negative (CK19-) patients. Results: AFP level and arterial phase (AP) enhancement were identified as independent predictors of CK19 expression. The DL-HR nomogram model showed superior performance compared to the clinical-radiologic model in both internal and external test sets (all P < 0.05). The AUCs of the DL-HR nomogram and clinical-radiologic models were 0.794 [95% CI: 0.708-0.864] vs. 0.615 [95% CI: 0.520-0.705] for the internal test set and 0.744 [95% CI: 0.669-0.810] vs. 0.600 [95% CI: 0.520-0.677] for the external test set, respectively. RFS was significantly different between the DL-HR nomogram model-predicted CK19+ and CK19- HCC patients across all sets (all P < 0.05). Conclusions: The DL-HR nomogram model integrating clinical, radiologic, habitat radiomics, and deep learning features effectively predicted the CK19 expression and served as an effective tool for RFS risk stratification in HCC.
