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

purpose of reviewThis paper aims to summarize the data of recently completed and key ongoing clinical trials of systemic agents for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC). In particular, the review focuses on ongoing checkpoint inhibitor combination trials and promising studies combining tyrosine kinase inhibitors with checkpoint inhibitors. RECENT

findingsThe recently approved combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab based on the IMbrave150 trial has shown the most potential with the highest overall survival of any systemic agent in HCC to date, surpassing sorafenib. Despite COVID-19 delays, other promising trials that involve combining VEGF-directed therapy and checkpoint inhibition, cancer vaccines, phosphatidylserine, YIV-906, and oncolytic and immunotherapeutic vaccinia virus are actively recruiting patients. SUMMARY: After almost a 10-year dormancy, the list of potential systemic treatment options for aHCC is growing rapidly. Given the promising data from the IMbrave150 trial, the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab is now the new first-line therapy. We discuss the change in landscape, the new second- and third-line systemic treatments in aHCC, and the ongoing clinical trials for newer agents including combination therapies.
