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

Objective: It is vital to enhance the identification of early recurrence in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients after curative-intent resection and to determine which patients could benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in detecting early recurrence in ICC patients and select those who would benefit from ACT to improve prognosis. Methods: The study analyzed 254 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients who underwent curative-intent resection to identify early recurrence predictors. Through logistic regression and feature importance analysis, we determined key risk factors and subsequently developed machine learning models utilizing the top five predictors for early recurrence prediction. The predictive performance was validated across area under the ROC curve (AUC). Results: Early recurrence was an independent prognostic risk factor for overall survival (OS) in ICC patients after curative resection ( Conclusion: The prediction models established in this study demonstrate good predictive capability and can be used to identify patients who may benefit from ACT.
