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

Basic and clinical research have shown that the expression of molecules involved in the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell signaling pathway is related to the sensitivity to molecular-targeted agents. We herein report a case of HCC that was effectively treated with lenvatinib after a poor response to sorafenib. The tumor showed a high expression of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4, which is reportedly related to the sensitivity to lenvatinib in vitro. The information obtained from this case and from our literature review highlights the importance of assessing the expression of the molecules involved in tumors for effective precision medicine.
