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

backgroundIdentification of patients with advanced HCC-deriving preferential benefit from sorafenib is desirable, and treatment-related adverse events are potential clinical biomarkers.

methodsSurvival and toxicity data for patients with HCC treated with sorafenib at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust from 11/09 to 02/15 were collected retrospectively.

resultsEighty-five eligible patients were identified. The most common grade 3 or 4 treatment-related toxicities were hypertension (HTN, 45 %), fatigue (8 %), and hand-foot syndrome (HFS, 8 %). Any-grade HFS and/or worsening HTN (HFS/HTN) were experienced by 58 % of patients. Estimated median progression-free and overall survival (OS) were 4.6 (95 % CI 2.8-5.2) and 6.5 (95 % CI 4.9-8.01) months, respectively. Child-Pugh score (p value <0.001) and the development of HFS/HTN were independent prognostic factors impacting on OS on multivariable analysis. Patients who developed HFS/HTN had median OS of 8.2 months (95 % CI 6.5-12.4) compared with 4.1 (95 % CI 2.7-5.4) for those without this toxicity (Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.4, 95 % CI 0.2-0.7, p value 0.003). The prognostic impact of HFS/HTN was confirmed by landmark analyses limited to patients who lived a minimum of 2 months (p value 0.019) or who developed HFS/HTN in the first 3 months of treatment (p value 0.006). CONCLUSION(S): The development of toxicities specific to sorafenib is associated with prolonged survival in a UK-based HCC patient series; prospective assessment of their significance is required.
