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

purposeTo evaluate the effect and immune response of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) combined with donafenib in rabbit VX2 liver tumor model. MATERIALS AND

methodsThirty-six New Zealand white rabbits with VX2 liver tumor were randomly divided into three groups. The LD group was treated with the emulsion of 0.5 mL lipiodol and 4 mg donafenib via hepatic arterial administration. The LE group was treated with the emulsion of 0.5 mL lipiodol and 4 mg epirubicin. The control group was treated with the equal volume of saline. Four rabbits were euthanized in each group on day 1, 3 and 7 after treatment. The tumor growth, histological markers associated with angiogenesis and immune response were assessed by imaging and histopathology. In addition, immune modulatory cytokines included interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interferon (IFN)-γ, and biochemical hepatorenal function were measured.

resultsCompared to other groups, LD group achieved lower tumor growth rate, fewer metastatic lesions, and higher tumor necrosis rate on day 7 after treatment. The percentage of CD31-positive area in the LD group was significantly lower than that in the LE group on day 3 and 7 after treatment. In addition, CD8

conclusionThe combination of TAE and angiogenesis inhibitor donafenib resulted in a potentiated tumoricidal effect, anti-angiogenesis and antitumour T cell response in rabbit VX2 liver tumor model. This may provide a potential basis for exploring the immune-related mechanisms of embolization in liver cancer.
