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
The hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with intrahepatic and bone metastasis shows poor survival of averagely 3 months. The bone metastasis and HCC itself might cause cancer-associated pain. An intrathecal (IT) analgesia might contribute to improve QOL and prolong surviving time (ST). A 71-year-old male presented with temperature and appetite loss continuing for 2 months. He looked pale and malaise. Computed tomography and tumor markers elevation confirmed diagnosis of HCC stage IV. To treat him, molecularly targeted therapy was started but abandoned because of side effects of life-threatening convulsions and loss of consciousness. Since this time, pain control strategy was planned as advance care plan. After dermal and oral opioids were administered, IT analgesia was introduced to conquer uncontrollable pelvic pain due to metastatic osteolytic lesions. Owing to IT analgesia against severe cancer-related pain, he had lived for 46 months. Comparing with reviews in which average ST is 3 months, this is the case with the longer ST in bone-metastatic HCC. From our experience, it must be emphasized that relieving cancer-related pain strategy for patients with progressive bone-metastatic HCC might contribute to prolong ST longer when adjuvant therapy has been failed.
