Increasing survival of hepatocellular carcinoma patients in Scotland: a review of national cancer registry data.
Article in HPB : the official journal of the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
objectivesThis study describes changes in the survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) registered with the Scottish Cancer Registry between 1985 and 2008.
methodsData on patients diagnosed with HCC were extracted from the Scottish Cancer Registry, along with linked data on treatment and risk factors for liver disease. One-, 3- and 5-year relative survival rates were calculated for each time period and a Cox regression model was used to assess the impact of prior admissions on survival.
resultsThe incidence of HCC increased between 1985 and 2008. The proportion of patients with prior alcohol-related admissions rose over the time period studied from 16.0% to 27.1%. Five-year relative survival increased in women between 1985-1989 and 2005-2007 from 0.5% [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.0-3.7] to 10.6% (95% CI 5.2-18.1). In men, 5-year relative survival increased from 0.4% (95% CI 0.2-2.2) to 4.4% (95% CI 1.5-9.9). Regression analysis showed that older age, history of alcohol-related admissions and deprivation were associated with lower survival, and hospitalization for viral hepatitis was associated with higher survival.
conclusionsAgainst the background of an increasing incidence of HCC in Scotland, survival times have increased substantially.
