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

opinion statementHepatocellular carcinoma is a common malignancy worldwide, rapidly rising in incidence. While there have been some developments in advancing therapeutic options in this disease, these have admittedly been modest to date, and as a result, this is a patient population with an inherently poor prognosis. Currently, sorafenib remains the only established systemic therapy proven to increase the overall survival of patients with advanced disease. The approval of sorafenib in 2007 ushered in the era of targeted therapies. Several phase 2 and 3 clinical trials have failed however to improve on sorafenib in the first-line setting, and no single agent has been demonstrated to impact outcomes after sorafenib failure. Having reached somewhat of an impasse in terms of drug development in hepatocellular carcinoma, enthusiasm in the field has moved toward innovative approaches such as molecular characterization and immunotherapy in an attempt to impact survival. This review highlights the current endeavors in terms of experimental research for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
