Machine Learning-Driven Prognostic Model Integrating Lymphocyte-to-C-Reactive Protein Ratio and TNM Staging in Gallbladder Cancer.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundA comprehensive preoperative assessment of the patient's physical condition is crucial for predicting the prognosis of patients undergoing radical cholecystectomy for gallbladder cancer (GBC). This study aimed to develop a prognostic model integrating preoperative hematological parameters and clinical information to predict postoperative survival in patients with GBC.
methodsPatients who underwent radical cholecystectomy for GBC between 2000 and 2024 at Xinhua Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and Shigatse People's Hospital were included in this study. Data on demographic features, clinical parameters, laboratory results, and clinical outcomes were collected. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, time-dependent ROC curve analysis, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression were used to identify the key factors for model development. Various machine learning models were constructed based on these findings. Internal validation assessed model stability, while clinical decision analysis evaluated its practical utility.
resultsA total of 184 patients were included, with a mean age of 67 years. Key predictors identified through univariate and multivariate Cox regression, time-dependent ROC, and LASSO analyses were the lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging. The best-performing model was logistic regression, with the following area under the curve (AUC) values: for the training set, 0.785 at 1 year, 0.853 at 2 years, and 0.873 at 3 years; and for the test set, 0.800 at 1 year, 0.870 at 2 years, and 0.872 at 3 years. Clinical decision analysis confirmed the model's clinical applicability.
conclusionThe machine learning model incorporating LCR and TNM staging is a robust tool for predicting postoperative survival following radical resection for GBC.
