Nutrition and metabolism status alteration in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the nutrition and metabolism status alteration during immunotherapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.
methodsPatients with advanced HCC who participated in the clinical trials of single-agent anti-PD-1 immunotherapy or sorafenib were retrospectively included. We analyzed self-comparison of the nutritional and metabolic indices of patients in the anti-PD-1 and sorafenib treatment group. We conducted mutual-comparison of the mentioned indices between the disease progression group and disease control group among anti-PD-1 treatment patients. We further analyzed those indices with statistical differences by partial correlation and survival analysis.
resultsBoth self-comparison before and after treatment in the anti-PD-1 group and mutual-comparison of disease progression and the control group showed significant differences in multiple indices, but we did not observe significant differences in the sorafenib group. Strikingly, albumin (ALB)/prognostic nutritional index (PNI, calculated by serum albumin and lymphocyte count) decreased distinctly in the immunotherapy disease progression group patients. However, changes in ALB/PNI were not significant in disease progression patients from the sorafenib group or in the disease control patients with immunotherapy. Partial correlation analysis suggested that ALB and PNI were positively correlated with the efficacy of immunotherapy. Furthermore, survival analysis showed that the median progression-free survival and median overall survival of patients in the ALB/PNI decreased group were significantly shorter than those of patients from the ALB/PNI increased group.
conclusionAnti-PD-1 immunotherapy might alter the nutritional and metabolic status in advanced HCC patients. We also should pay attention to the nutritional and metabolic status of patients when drug resistance is detected.
