Non-surgical management of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: A systematic review by Cancer Care Ontario.
Review in Canadian liver journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a global health problem, accounting for 4.7% of all new cancer cases and 8.2% of all cancer deaths worldwide in 2018. Resection and transplantation are the only modalities that offer a cure for HCC; however, most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, precluding these curative treatments. A number of local (ie, ablative therapies) and/or local-regional therapies (ie, chemo-embolization) are used and followed by systemic therapy for advanced or progressive disease. Other treatments are available, but their efficacy compared with these standards is not well known. Methods: Literature searches (1/2000 to 1/2020 or 1/2005 to 1/2020, depending on the specific systematic review question) were conducted, including MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Results: Over 30,000 articles were identified. In total, 49 studies were included in the systematic review. Conclusions: There is no evidence to support the addition of sorafenib to any local or regional therapy. First-line systemic therapy options for unresectable or metastatic HCC include sorafenib, lenvatinib, and atezolizumab + bevacizumab. Regorafenib or cabozantinib provide survival benefits when given as second-line treatment.
