Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Distant Metastasis Cured by 20-Day Sorafenib Treatment.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
There are only 13 cases of complete remission after sorafenib use in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. We herein report a rarer case in which the patient was cured after only 20 days of sorafenib use. A 61-year-old male patient was diagnosed with a huge HCC. The mass occupied almost the whole of the right hepatic lobe and a portion of segment 4. We performed extended right hepatectomy for cure. However, 3.5-cm-sized subcarinal lymph node metastasis was detected at 15 months after operation. We prescribed sorafenib 400 mg bid for palliative treatment. The patient had severe fever, pain, and blisters on the hands and feet, so the patient stopped taking it after 20 days. Subcarinal lymph node disappeared on chest computed tomography after 3 months, and there was no evidence of recurrence for a year.
