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
Introduction: Several clinical studies have demonstrated the benefits of surgery for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The goal of our study was to identify prognostic factors associated with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with HCC and develop nomograms to predict these factors. Material and methods: We retrospectively conducted follow-up evaluations of 176 patients with HCC up to 10 years after their tumors were removed. All of these patients were from a single hospital, and all of the enrolled patients were divided into two groups: those who survived less than 3 years and those who survived more than 3 years. Independent prognostic factors associated with OS and RFS were determined via univariate and multivariate Cox regression model analyses. Two prognostic nomogram models were built on the basis of the data and evaluated via the concordance index (C-index). The calibration curves indicated that the two nomograms performed well over a 5-year period. Additionally, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the time-dependent area under the ROC curve (AUC) were determined, and decision curve analyses (DCAs) were conducted. Results: The nomograms successfully discriminated patients with HCC. Prognostic factors for OS and RFS were identified, and nomograms were successfully built. The calibration discrimination was good for both the OS and RFS nomogram prediction models (C-indexes: 0.815 and 0.80, respectively). Our nomograms and calibration curves demonstrated favorable results with strong predictive accuracy and ROC curves, and according to the DCA, our nomogram results showed a greater net clinical benefit. The Kaplan-Meier plots for OS and RFS were generated via the log-rank test, the Conclusions: We established nomogram survival prediction models to predict the prognosis of HCC after invasive treatment and achieved an acceptable level of accuracy in both OS and RFS analyses. These models may be valuable for guiding the selection of clinical treatment strategies and may also facilitate clinical decision making.
