Abstract (original English)
Introduction The diagnostic performance of liquid biopsy-based biomarkers for HCC was comprehensively compared in this network meta-analysis (NMA). Methods A thorough literature search was conducted to identify all comparative studies from January 1, 2000, to January 11, 2024. The QUADAS-2 tool was utilized to appraise the quality of studies involving diagnostic performance. R (v4.3.3) and an ANOVA model-based NMA were used to assess the diagnostic accuracy of each biomarker. Results This study included 82 studies comprising a total of 15,024 patients.CircRNA demonstrated significantly superior performance in distinguishing HCC from healthy populations (superiority index: 3.550 (95% CI [0.143-3])) compared to other diagnostic biomarkers for HCC. "mRNA exhibited significantly superior performance in distinguishing HCC from liver disease patients (superiority index:10.621 (95% CI [7-11])) compared to other diagnostic biomarkers for HCC. Further subgroup analysis of the top-ranking liquid biopsy-based diagnostic biomarkers revealed that hsa_circ_000224 (superiority index: 3.091 (95% CI[0.143-9]) ranked remarkably higher in distinguishing HCC from both healthy populations and liver disease patients. Subgroup analysis of mRNA demonstrated that KIAA0101 mRNA (superiority index: 2.434 (95% CI [0.2-5]) ranked remarkably higher in distinguishing HCC from healthy populations and liver di
