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

The immune modulatory effect of tivozanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and the underlying immune mechanisms impacting survival of HCC patients have not been investigated. Pre-clinical studies have shown that tivozanib reduces Tregs and MDSCs accumulation through inhibition of c-Kit/SCF axis. We rationalized that c-Kit/SCF axis antagonism by tivozanib may reverse tumor-induced immune suppression in HCC patients. The frequency of circulating Tregs, MDSCs, CTLA-4
