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
Formulating sequential therapeutic strategies based on the pathological conditions of patients and by using molecular targeted agents (MTAs) and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is crucial for the treatment of unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The current report presents the case of a patient with HCC involving a large intrahepatic primary tumor and lung metastases, and discusses treatment strategies for advanced HCC based on the current literature. Sequential therapy with MTAs was effective after TACE. Lenvatinib was effective for treating the metastases in the lungs and spleen. Only the progressing intrahepatic tumor was additionally treated with TACE. The patient has been alive for 3 years and continued lenvatinib treatment without HCC progression or decline in liver function. In conclusion, although multiple MTAs introduced into the clinic have been gradually replacing TACE, on-demand TACE in the multidisciplinary treatment of advanced HCC may be effective for intrahepatic hypervascular tumors resistant to MTAs, including lenvatinib. It may be possible to re-initiate lenvatinib treatment with good efficacy against distant metastatic lesions, thereby contributing to long-term survival.
