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

backgroundSimultaneous double primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) (dpHCC-ICC) is very rare. This study investigated the clinicopathological features and post-resection prognosis of dpHCC-ICC.

methodsWe identified 10 patients with dpHCC-ICC through an institutional database search. Three control groups with HCC, ICC and combined HCC-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) were selected (each n = 120) using propensity score matching.

resultsThe incidence of dpHCC-ICC was 0.23%. The mean age was 57.4 ± 11.7 years, and 8 were male. Hepatitis B virus infection was associated with 8 patients. All dpHCC-ICC were diagnosed incidentally from surgical specimens. Only two patients demonstrated simultaneous elevation of alpha-fetoprotein/des-γ-carboxy prothrombin and carbohydrate antigen 19-9. All patients underwent macroscopic curative resection. The HCC component was classified as stage I in 7 and stage II in 3, and ICC component was classified as stage I in 5, stage II in 2 and stage IV in 3. Tumor recurrence and patient survival rates were 30.0 and 90.0% at 1 year and 52.0 and 77.1% at 3 years, respectively. Tumor recurrence rates were not different between the dpHCC-ICC and the three control groups (p = 0.505). The overall and post-recurrence patient survival rates were similar between the dpHCC-ICC and cHCC-CC groups (p > 0.2); however, these were inferior to those in the HCC group but comparable with those in the ICC group.

conclusionsThe post-resection prognosis of dpHCC-ICC was more dependent on the tumor stage of the ICC component than that of the HCC component. Therefore, they can be clinically regarded as ICC with concurrent HCC.
