Review in World journal of gastroenterology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05781568 (Use of Blood Biomarkers for the Early Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma), which is not on this map. Cited by 77 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the fifth most common cancer in the world, and the third most frequent oncological cause of death. The incidence of HCC is on the increase. HCC typically develops in patients with chronic liver diseases, and cirrhosis, usually with viral etiology, is the strongest predisposing factor. Nowadays HCC diagnosis is a multistage process including clinical, laboratory, imaging and pathological examinations. The prognosis of HCC is mostly poor, because of detection at an advanced, non-resectable stage. Potentially curative treatment (surgery) is limited and really possible only for cases with small HCC malignancies. For this reason, more effective surveillance strategies should be used to screen for early occurrence of HCC targeted to the population at risk. So far, the generally accepted serological marker is alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Its diagnostic accuracy is unsatisfactory and questionable because of low sensitivity, therefore there is a strong demand by clinicians for new HCC-specific biomarkers. In this review, we will focus on other biomarkers that seem to improve HCC diagnosis, such as AFP-L3, des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin, alpha-l-fucosidase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, glypican-3, squamous cell carcinoma antigen, a new generation of immunoglobulin M-immunocomplexes, and very promising gene-expression profiling.
