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

introductionHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a tumor of increasing incidence and high mortality worldwide. Diagnosis of HCC is often difficult, especially at early stages of disease. Additionally, current treatment options are limited. HCC usually develops in an environment of chronic liver disease. The immune system has an important role in shaping this environment, especially in chronic viral hepatitis, the leading cause of HCC. However, the immune system also plays a role in natural immunity against HCC although this is apparently not sufficient to control the majority of tumors. This failure in tumor control is due to multiple immunomodulatory mechanisms employed by HCC to subvert the immune system. In this review, we will summarize the current knowledge about the role of the immune system in hepatocarcinogenesis. Additionally, we will describe the mechanisms used by the immune system to control established lesions and the reasons why these immune responses apparently fail so often. Finally, possible implications for the design of novel immunotherapeutic strategies will be discussed.
