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

Sorafenib is an oral multikinase inhibitor approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of the patients with surgically unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Sorafenib mitigates angiogenesis by targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors and platelet-derived growth factor receptors in endothelial cells and pericytes. Moreover, it suppresses cell proliferation via blockage of B-RAF and RAF1 of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in tumor cells. Sorafenib has been the standard molecular targeted medication in the treatment of advanced-stage HCC patients ineligible for potentially curative interventional (radiofrequency or microwave ablation) or palliative trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) therapies for over a decade. However, it only increases overall survival by less than 3 months, and systemic exposure to sorafenib causes clinically significant toxicities (about 50% of patients). Given the high frequency and severity of these toxicities, sorafenib dose must be often reduced or discontinued altogether. In this review, we discussed the mechanism of sorafenib-associated adverse events and their management during HCC treatment.
