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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a lethal malignancy associated with cirrhosis and liver dysfunction. The aim of this study is to characterize a cohort of patients with advanced HCC according to liver function-related variables and evaluate the prognostic significance of Child-Pugh (CP) and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) scores. A database of 406 HCC patients treated between 2009 and 2023 was retrospectively evaluated. Clinical and laboratory parameters were collected to classify patients into ALBI and CP scores. Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate models were used to evaluate prognosis prediction. In this cohort, 337 (83%) patients were classified as CP-A, while 69 (17%) as CP-B. Additionally, according to ALBI score, 159 (39.2%) individuals were categorised as ALBI-1, 233 (57.4%) as ALBI-2 and 14 (3.4%) as ALBI-3. A statistically significant association between both classifications was observed (
