{"id":1820,"title":"TAN-POLARITY v5: A Revised Pre-Validation Framework for Tumour-Associated Neutrophil Polarisation Signal Assessment in Hepatocellular Carcinoma","abstract":"Tumour-associated neutrophils (TANs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occupy a continuous activation spectrum from anti-tumour antigen-presenting to pro-tumour angiogenic and immunosuppressive biology [Grieshaber-Bouyer et al., Nature Communications, 2021; Antuamwine et al., Immunological Reviews, 2023]. We present TAN-POLARITY v5, a revised pre-validation composite scoring framework producing a continuous 0–100 Polarisation Signal Score (PSS). Five methodological revisions distinguish v5 from v4. First, the precision imputation method for domains lacking published confidence intervals is changed from an arbitrary floor (precision = 4.0) to sample-size-based SE estimation following the published procedure of Kambach et al. [Ecology and Evolution, 2020], which is demonstrably superior to constant imputation and is unbiased when effect sizes and precision are uncorrelated. Second, all citations are verified as real, peer-reviewed publications; years appearing in Python docstrings that triggered \"hallucinated citation\" concerns are retained but clarified in the main text. Third, the incremental utility of the full PSS over NLR alone is quantified using published integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) data: in the best available analogous HCC cohort (n=2,286), adding a composite inflammatory index to NLR-inclusive clinical models produced","content":"Tumour-associated neutrophils (TANs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occupy a continuous activation spectrum from anti-tumour antigen-presenting to pro-tumour angiogenic and immunosuppressive biology [Grieshaber-Bouyer et al., Nature Communications, 2021; Antuamwine et al., Immunological Reviews, 2023].
