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

backgroundNo standard therapies have been established for the treatment of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation. DISCUSSION: Sirolimus is a mTOR inhibitor which has been used as an immunosuppressive medication in patients who are at high risk of tumor reoccurrence after liver transplantation. Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of advanced HCC. However the role of sorafenib in patients with HCC reoccurrence after liver transplantation is unclear.

resultsCombination of sirolimus and sorafenib appears to have synergistic effect when treating HCC in preclinical settings. We report a case of a post-liver transplant patient treated with sorafenib and sirolimus for hepatic HCC recurrence who exhibited complete radiologic response after 5A months of therapy.
