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
backgroundThe systemic immune-inflammation index reflects the systematic inflammatory status, and the albumin-bilirubin grade reflects the liver function. In patients with hepatocellular carcinoma receiving transarterial chemoembolization, their combined clinical utility has not been fully explored. Herein, we purposed to determine the prognostic worthiness of systemic immune-inflammation index -albumin-bilirubin scores in patients receiving transarterial chemoembolization for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
methodsPatients who were treated with transarterial chemoembolization after being diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma between 2008 and 2016 were recruited for this research work. Systemic immune-inflammation index and albumin-bilirubin scores were determined prior to treatment. The clinico-pathological factors related to overall survival were determined via univariate along with multivariate analyses.
resultsA total of 295 patients were retrospectively studied. Patients with systemic immune-inflammation index-albumin-bilirubin score of 2 had the worst outcomes, exhibiting a median overall survival of 11 months (95% CI, 8.44-13.56 months) in contrast with subjects in the systemic immune-inflammation index-albumin-bilirubin 1 group (median OS, 26 months; 95% CI, 21.25-30.75 months) and the systemic immune-inflammation index-albumin-bilirubin 0 class (median OS, 31 months; 95% CI, 12.76-49.24 months). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year rates of survival were 45.3%, 1.3%, and 0% for patients in the systemic immune-inflammation index-albumin-bilirubin 2 category; 76.4%, 35.0%, and 14.6% for those in the systemic immune-inflammation index-albumin-bilirubin 1 category; and 85.6%, 46.7%, and 35.0% for those in the systemic immune-inflammation index-albumin-bilirubin 0 category, respectively (P < .001).
conclusionsThe systemic immune-inflammation index-albumin-bilirubin score could be a simple indicator to estimate the prognosis in individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma being treated with transarterial chemoembolization. Patients in the systemic immuneinflammation index-albumin-bilirubin 2 category were more likely to be related to a shorter overall survival.
