Evolutions in the Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma over Last 4 Decades: An Analysis from the 100 Most Influential Articles in the Field.
Article in Liver cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
introductionOver the past 4 decades, the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has changed dramatically. The publications that have had the most significant impact on HCC management have not been quantitatively analyzed. In this article, we analyzed the 100 most influential articles over the past 4 decades using bibliometric citation analysis to characterize the evolution in HCC treatment.
methodsThe top-cited publications were identified and analyzed from the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Core Collection database.
resultsThe 100 most cited articles were identified with an average of 738 citations (range: 349-6,799). There was an increase in the number of influential articles in the late 1990s, which was paralleled by an increase in reports focused on locoregional treatment of HCC. Most top 100 articles came from the USA (
conclusionsBased on bibliometric analysis of the literature over the last 40 years, a comprehensive analysis of the most historically significant HCC management articles highlighted the key contributions made to the evolution and advancement of this specialist field. The data should provide clinicians and researchers insight into future directions relative to the advancement of HCC management.
