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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumours of the digestive system worldwide. The expression of Ki-67 is crucial for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic evaluation of HCC.

aimTo construct a machine learning model for the preoperative evaluation of Ki-67 expression in HCC and to assist in clinical decision-making.

methodsThis study included 164 pathologically confirmed HCC patients. Radiomic features were extracted from the computed tomography images reconstructed by superresolution of the intratumoral and peritumoral regions. Features were selected

resultsIn total, 164 HCC patients, namely, 104 patients with high Ki-67 expression and 60 with low Ki-67 expression, were included. Compared with the models in which only intratumoral or peritumoral features were used, the fusion model in which intratumoral and peritumoral features were combined demonstrated stronger predictive ability. Moreover, the clinical-radiomics model including the Radscore and clinical features had higher predictive performance than did the fusion model (area under the ROC curve = 0.848

conclusionA machine learning model based on the radiomic features of the intratumoral and peritumoral regions on superresolution computed tomography in conjunction with clinical factors can accurately evaluate Ki-67 expression. The model provides valuable assistance in selecting treatment strategies for HCC patients and contributes to research on neoadjuvant therapy for liver cancer.
