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

The outcome of transarterial chemoembolization for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) relies on the appropriate identification of tumor supplying arteries. HCC derives 90% of the blood supply from the hepatic arteries. However, depending on the tumor's size and location, the extrahepatic collateral artery (EHC) can develop and predominantly supply the tumor. The supraduodenal artery (SDA) arises from the gastroduodenal artery (GDA). On the other hand, the cystic artery (CA) mostly originates from the right hepatic artery. However, a common trunk of the SDA and CA originating from the GDA and feeding the HCC as an EHC has not been reported. We herein present a 76-year-old man with HCC in segment 6, supplied by an EHC from a common trunk of the SDA and CA originating from the GDA. Selective arteriography confirmed the EHC, which was successfully embolized with drug-eluting beads without complications.
