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

backgroundInformation about radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients preexisting hepatitis B cirrhosis with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) extended to the main portal vein treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is still inadequate and the predictive markers for RILD have not been cleared in these patients. The aim of the study is to identify factors that can be used to predict RILD and to evaluate the influence of RILD in these patients.

methodsIn our study, 59 patients were analyzed and evaluated from December 2015 to June 2019, according to the entry criteria. After treatment, 59 patients were followed up within the first month and then every 3 months. Hematology test, tumor markers, three-phasic CT scan of the lungs, and CT or MRI scan of the liver were performed at each follow up.

resultsMedian overall survival time was 10.7 months (range, 5.8 to 14.9). RILD appeared in 17 of the 59 patients (28.8%) at the 3rd month after SBRT. In the univariate analysis, not only the CP score class (A or B) but also each different pretreatment CP score (

conclusionsThe development of RILD has a dependency on the CP score in these patients. CP scores before treatment and RILD are significantly associated with overall survival. SBRT is an effective and safe method for patients with CP ≤ B7. For patients with CP-B8, liver function should be monitored more frequently. It is not safe enough for the SBRT treatment in CP-B9 patients.
