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

A significant proportion of HIV patients, ranging between 5-67%, are co-infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Several studies suggest an increasing incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in HIV infected individuals. We report the case of a 69 years old male co infected with HBV and HIV who developed HCC. The patient was unfit for curative approach and he underwent three sessions of transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation (TACE). After the last session the disease assessment showed progression and sorafenib therapy was initiated. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) was continued during sorafenib treatment. The patient achieved a radiological complete response (CR) after 6 months of therapy and remained with no sign of HCC progression at subsequent assessment. Meanwhile, patient's HIV and HBV infections remained stable. Regarding toxicity the patient developed grade 3 hand foot skin reaction (HFSR) that required 50% dose reduction of sorafenib, grade 3 hypertension and grade 2 diarrhea. In conclusion this is the first case of successful treatment of HCC in a HIV-HBV co-infected patient and only the second report of the co administration of sorafenib with HAART.
