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: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains poor, and inflammatory markers have emerged as potential predictors. This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting overall survival (OS) in patients with HCC after radical hepatectomy by integrating inflammatory markers with clinicopathological factors. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with HCC who underwent radical hepatectomy at the Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital between 2014 and 2018. The patients were randomly assigned (2:1 ratio) to the training and validation cohorts. Independent prognostic factors were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to construct a nomogram. The performance of the model was assessed using ROC, calibration, and decision curve analysis (DCA) and compared with established staging systems (AJCC 8th edition TNM, BCLC, and CNLC). Results: The training and validation cohorts included 242 and 121 patients, respectively. Aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and microvascular invasion (MVI) were identified as independent prognostic factors ( Conclusion: The proposed nomogram, incorporating APRI, SIRI, and MVI, effectively predicts OS in patients with HCC following radical resection and outperforms conventional staging systems.
