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

backgroundAtezolizumab plus bevacizumab (ATZ + BV) treatment is recommended as the first-line systemic therapy for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC). This study aimed to investigate the predictive factors of therapeutic response and the continuation of ATZ + BV treatment for u-HCC in a real-world setting.

methodsThis retrospective study was conducted between January 2021 and April 2022. Twenty-eight patients with u-HCC, who were treated with ATZ + BV, were assessed for their treatment response, continuation, and adverse events (AEs).

resultsAmong the 28 patients, 24 were evaluated at the first imaging. The objective response rate (ORR) was 29.2% (

conclusionsPretreatment mALBI grades 1 and 2a were the important predictive factors associated with the therapeutic response and the therapeutic continuation of ATZ + BV for patients with u-HCC.
