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

clinical/methodical issueDue to late diagnosis and a lack of organs only about 30 % of patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergo curative treatment. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL

methodsTransarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a routine procedure in intermediate stage HCC. In addition transarterial embolization (TAE) and transarterial radioembolization (TARE) are available for these patients. PERFORMANCE: For inoperable patients with HCC, TACE is superior to best supportive care in terms of survival. Combined with percutaneous ablation TACE achieves results similar to resection. ACHIEVEMENTS: Current developments, such as drug-eluting beads, TARE and multimodal treatment are well suited to further improve outcome in patients with intermediate stage HCC. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Transarterial therapies in HCC should be applied in accordance with the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) criteria. Due to a better safety profile and potentially improved disease-free survival the use of drug-eluting beads should be liberally considered.
