Overview of lenvatinib as a targeted therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
Review in Clinical and experimental hepatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common malignancy worldwide. Patients commonly present with advanced/unresectable HCC where several treatment options are not effective. In this review, the authors discuss the indications and usage of lenvatinib, a multikinase inhibitor, as first-line therapy for advanced/unresectable HCC, its mode of action, efficacy, drug reactions, response to treatment and adverse effects. Since its approval in 2007, sorafenib has been used as first-line therapy for unresectable HCC. In 2018, a phase III multinational REFLECT trial on subjects with unresectable HCC (Child-Pugh class A) demonstrated that lenvatinib was non-inferior compared to sorafenib for overall survival, with a controllable toxicity profile, leading to its approval. In addition, our review discusses studies that compare the safety and efficacy profile of lenvatinib especially in patients who have a decline in their liver function to Child-Pugh class B. A current real world analysis of lenvatinib approval for unresectable HCC worldwide is reported.
