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

backgroundThis exploratory study aimed to evaluate lipidomic and metabolomic profiles in patients with early and advanced HCCs and to investigate whether certain metabolic parameters may predict the overall survival in these patients.

methodsA total of 60 patients from the prospective, randomized-controlled, multicenter phase II SORAMIC trial were included in this substudy; among them were 30 patients with an early HCC who underwent radiofrequency ablation combined with sorafenib or a placebo and 30 patients with an advanced HCC who were treated with a selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) plus sorafenib vs. sorafenib alone. The blood serum of these patients was analyzed using a standardized nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) platform. All tested metabolites were correlated with the overall survival.

resultsThe overall survival (OS) was significantly higher in patients with an early HCC (median OS: 34.0 months) compared with patients with an advanced HCC (median OS: 12.0 months) (

conclusionsNMR-based lipidomic and metabolomic profiling has the potential to identify individual metabolite biomarkers that predict the outcome of patients with an HCC exposed to non-invasive therapeutic management.
