Well-Controlled Viremia Predicts the Outcome of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Chronic Viral Hepatitis Patients Treated with Sorafenib.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Without analyzing the status of viremia, hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCV-HCC) patients are proposed to have better prognosis than hepatitis B virus-related HCC (HBV-HCC) patients using sorafenib. We aimed to elucidate the efficacy of concurrent sorafenib and anti-viral treatment for HCC patients with HBV or HCV infection in real world. Between January 2018 and January 2021, 256 unresectable HCC patients receiving first-line sorafenib were evaluated. High-potency nucleoside analogs were used for HBV control, whereas direct-acting antivirals were administered for HCV eradication. Well-controlled viremia was defined as patients who had undetectable viremia, or who had been receiving antivirals at least 6 months before sorafenib. We recruited 116 (65.2%) HBV-HCC patients and 62 (34.8%) HCV-HCC patients. Using sorafenib, progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) rates between these two groups were not different. Before sorafenib, 56% of HBV-HCC patients and 54.8% of HCV-HCC patients had well-controlled viremia and their OS was superior to those who had uncontrolled viremia (15.5 vs. 11.1 months,
