Serum HMGB1 concentrations at 4 weeks is a useful predictor of extreme poor prognosis for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treated with sorafenib and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy.

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.
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
backgroundBiomarkers predicting the response to the anticancer treatment and prognosis in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are required. Recently, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was reported to promote HCC progression and be associated with poor prognosis for patients with HCC. The purpose of this study was to assess serum HMGB1 concentrations before and during sorafenib treatment or hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) and to explore the ability of serum HMGB1 concentrations to predict prognosis.
methodsSerum HMGB1 concentrations were measured in 71 and 72 patients with advanced HCC treated with sorafenib and HAIC, respectively, to assess their usefulness for prediction of the response to the treatment and prognosis.
resultsMultivariate analysis identified high HMGB1 at 4 weeks (P = 0.001), high α-fetoprotein (AFP) at baseline (P = 0.025), tumor liver occupying rate (P = 0.009) and modified RECIST (mRECIST, P < 0.0001) as independent predictors of poor overall survival in sorafenib treatment. High HMGB1 at 4 weeks (P = 0.025), vascular invasion to the hepatic vein (Vv) (P = 0.009), mRECIST (P < 0.0001) and Child-Pugh B (P = 0.004) were identified as independent predictors of poor overall survival in HAIC treatment. The concentrations of HMGB1 at baseline and 4 weeks were not correlated with conventional tumor markers and progressive disease assessed by mRECIST at 8 weeks.
conclusionsThese results suggest that serum HMGB1 at 4 weeks after the start of treatment might be a useful biomarker with added value to the conventional tumor marker and radiologic responses to predict poor overall survival in patients with advanced HCC treated with sorafenib or HAIC.
