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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common tumors in recent days with high mortality and low early diagnosis rate, resulting in the fourth leading cause of deaths globally. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety between transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) therapy followed by multi-applicator ablation and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for the treatment of large HCC.

methodsAn intervention study conducted at the Cancer Center of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China, with whom had large HCC. A comparison between the two groups (intervention and control group) was evaluated at different time dimensions by repeated-measures analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney U rank-sum test, where Kaplan-Meier and log-rank test calculated for the overall survival (OS), tumor response (TR), and progression-free survival (PFS).

resultsThis study found the improved survival rate (SR) and PFS after 1-year treatment in the observation group (Group-I) by 56.4% and 12.8%, compared to 38.3% and 8.5% in the control group (Group-II). Likewise, 1- and 2-year OS rates (OSRs) in Group-I were 66.7% and 51.4%, wherein Group-II were 48.9% and 30.0%, respectively. The short-term efficacy of Group-I, such as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD) were 28.21%, 56.41%, 0, 15.38%, while in Group-II was 2.13%, 68.79%, 6.38% 22.70% respectively, which were significant. The short-term efficacy was more excellent in the Group-I than Group-II. The quality of life (QOL) was better in Group-I than that of Group-II.

conclusionsTAE combined with multi-applicator ablation therapy is safer, effective with prolonged survival, and less severe adverse reactions compared to TACE therapy for the treatment of large HCC.
