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

The recurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after potentially curative hepatic resection (HR) is very high. Many clinical trials have explored the efficacy of several treatment modalities to prevent recurrence, including adjuvant and chemopreventive therapy, but they have often reported contradictory findings. As a result, most liver guidelines and liver seminars do not unequivocally endorse adjuvant or chemopreventive therapy for HCC patients after potentially curative HR. To examine the available evidence on this question, we comprehensively searched PubMed for controlled studies that included a supportive care or placebo control arm, and we used the GRADE system to classify and assess the results.
