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/

objectiveThis study aimed to develop a new nomogram to predict the likelihood of benefit for patients with advanced HCC who can benefit from the sequential treatment of conversion therapy and radical surgery. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 589 patients who met the criteria were included in this study. According to a 7:3 ratio, the development group included 412 patients, while the validation group included 177 patients. The clinical outcome set for this study was whether one could benefit from radical resection after conversion therapy. Independent risk factors for the outcome were screened through univariable and multivariable Logistic regression analysis. We constructed a nomogram using independent risk factors. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and clinical decision curve were used to evaluate the performance of the model.

resultsSex (OR = 2.000; 95% CI: 1.018, 3.931;

conclusionsThis study developed a nomogram for predicting whether HCC patients can benefit from the sequential treatment of conversion therapy and radical surgery. This is of great help for us to formulate treatment strategies for patients with advanced HCC.
