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 incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing worldwide, largely due to hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus and liver cirrhosis. Chronic HBV infection is estimated to cause 55%-60% of the cases of HCC worldwide and over 70% in Asian countries. Liver resection is currently the mainstay of treatment due to the low surgical mortality, a wider treatment indication, and simplicity of post-treatment follow-up. There is an ever-increasing demand on surgeons to perform curative liver resection in HCC, with the hope of avoiding tumor recurrences. Hepatitis B-related-HCC has distinct clinicopathological features, which should be considered when treating the disease. The author presents a review of the recently evolving strategies and emerging therapies to improve HCC postresectional outcomes and focus on perioperative measures to improve patient outcome, with particular reference to the current status of adjuvant therapies in HCC patients after liver resection.
