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

purposeTo determine the treatment outcome and prognostic factors for survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and macrovascular tumor thrombosis (MTT).

methodsBetween January 2010 and December 2018, 66 patients diagnosed with HCC and MTT, who received specific treatment were included. Various clinical and imaging data, treatment methods, outcomes, prognostic factors, and overall survival were evaluated. Outcomes were compared with those of 24 patients treated with supportive care.

resultsMost patients with HCC and MTT showed disease progression (80.3%) and a low 5-year survival rate. The median survival time after treatment was 13 months (vs. supportive care group 3 months, p < 0.001). Main branch MTT (p = 0.036), extent of tumor thrombus > 1 segment (p = 0.039), presence of ascites (p = 0.009) and among treatment methods, systemic therapy alone (p = 0.007), and supportive care (p < 0.001) compared with combined local with systemic therapies were prognostic factors for poor survival.

conclusionsAlthough most patients with HCC and MTT showed disease progression, median survival time was significantly longer than that with supportive care. Main branch and > 1 segment involvement of MTT and presence of ascites were significant prognostic factors for poor survival. Combined local and systemic therapy over systemic therapy alone are recommended for patients with these advanced stage HCCs.
