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: It remains unclear whether diabetic medications, such as metformin and insulin, affect the post-liver resection prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients complicated with diabetes mellitus (DM). This study try to find out the prognostic factors in HCC patients with DM and provide a better antidiabetic therapy after liver resection. Methods: Patients presenting with HCC complicated with DM undergoing liver resection were enrolled in this study. They were examined and followed up every 3-6 months after surgery. Patients were divided into the antidiabetic treatment group and no antidiabetic treatment group according to whether they received medications for diabetes or not. Then patients in the antidiabetic treatment group were further divided into insulin group, metformin group, insulin plus metformin group and others group, according to the medications they received. Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared among two groups and four subgoups. Comparative and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate the effects of DM medication on the prognosis of these HCC patients, using Cox proportional hazards model. Results: The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year OS rates for the antidiabetic treatment group were 87.5%, 75.5%, 48.7%, and 29.1%, respectively, and for the no antidiabetic treatment group, the OS rates were 85.4%, 57.7%, 33.6%, and 19.1%, respectively (P Conclusions: For HCC patients with DM, antidiabetic treatment should be recommended aggressively in order to improve the surgical outcome, regardless of which antidiabetic drugs are used.
