Therapeutic efficacy of lenvatinib for hepatocellular carcinoma with iso-high intensity in the hepatobiliary phase of Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Previous studies have reported that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) harboring WNT/β-catenin mutations exhibits iso-high intensity by gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI, i.e. EOB-MRI) during the hepatobiliary phase (HBP), thus indicating that EOB-MRI may help clinicians identify an immune exclusion class, which might not respond to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The present study analyzed the efficacy of lenvatinib for HCC with iso-high intensity during the HBP of EOB-MRI. Overall, 52 patients who underwent EOB-MRI for 140 HCC nodules were classified into iso-high-intensity and low-intensity groups during the HBP of EOB-MRI. The clinical and histological characteristics, and different responses to treatment of both groups were analyzed. The expression levels of β-catenin and glutamine synthetase, indicative of WNT/β-catenin mutations, were enhanced in the HCC with iso-high-intensity group. Nine patients had iso-high intensity, whereas 43 patients had low intensity. Tumor size was larger, and the levels of antagonist-II or vitamin K absence were higher in the iso-high-intensity group. Furthermore, 3/9 patients in the iso-high-intensity group had objective responses compared with 13/43 patients in the low-intensity group. Disease control was observed in 5/9 patients in the iso-high-intensity group and 26/43 patients in the low-intensity group. Median overall survival was 29.8 months for the iso-high-intensity group compared with 20.8 months for the low-intensity group. In the iso-high-intensity group, the median progression-free survival rate was 6.7 months compared with 5.6 months in the low-intensity group. No differences in best percentage change from baseline tumor size were observed in either group. Although few patients were included in this study, the present findings suggested that the efficacy of lenvatinib was unaffected by signal intensity during the HBP of EOB-MRI.
