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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsThis study aimed to identify the utility of

methodsWe evaluated 28 consecutive patients with HCC diagnosed by dynamic CT or magnetic resonance imaging combined with

resultsOf the 28 patients, 12 (43%) presented with a TLR ≥2. Evaluation of the treatment response at 2 weeks in these 12 patients revealed that 2 (17%) exhibited a complete response, 8 (67%) a partial response, 2 (17%) stable disease, and none with progressive disease. Therefore, 10 of the 12 patients (83%) experienced an objective response to lenvatinib. On the other hand, 7 of the 16 patients with a TLR <2 (44%) experienced an objective response. Thus, the objective response rate was higher in patients with a TLR ≥2 than in those with a TLR <2. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a TLR ≥2 (odds ratio 10.53;

conclusionPatients with unresectable HCC showed a good early treatment response to lenvatinib. High TLR (≥2) may be a useful predictor of an extremely rapid treatment response.
