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

introductionPhase 1b GO30140 and phase 3 IMbrave150 studies evaluated first-line atezolizumab + bevacizumab for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we evaluated pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety by hepatic impairment status and geographic region.

methodsPatients received atezolizumab 1,200 mg + bevacizumab 15 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks. Drug concentrations were evaluated by descriptive statistics and population PK. PK and adverse event frequencies were evaluated by hepatic impairment status and region.

results323 IMbrave150 patients and 162 GO30140 patients were PK evaluable. Compared with IMbrave150 patients who had normal hepatic function per the National Cancer Institute Organ Dysfunction Working Group (NCI-ODWG) criteria (

conclusionsIMbrave150 and GO30140 patients with unresectable HCC had varying baseline hepatic impairment and high enrollment from Asia. PK data demonstrated considerable exposure overlap across groups. Treatment was tolerable across groups. No need for dose adjustment based on mild or moderate hepatic impairment or region is recommended based on this analysis.
