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
BACKGROUND Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can improve the survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose was to explore the characteristics of high-risk and low-risk groups of HCC patients receiving combination therapy using a decision tree model. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study investigated HCC patients treated with a combination of TACE and RFA at our hospital from 2012 to 2018. Decision tree analysis was used to study the 1-year prognosis of patients, and patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups. RESULTS We included a total of 142 patients with HCC, 21.83% female and 78.17% male, with the median age of 60 years old. The median follow-up was 13.5 months; 39.44% of patients had progressive disease or death (high-risk group) and 60.56% of patients did not have progressive disease or survival (low-risk group). The area under the curve (AUC) of the decision tree model was 0.846. There were significant differences in sex (P=0.003), age (P=0.038), tumor number (P=0.043), number of RFAs in the first treatment cycle (P.
