Effects of preoperative serum lactate dehydrogenase levels on long-term prognosis in elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hepatic arterial chemoembolization is an effective treatment for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and can improve the survival rate of patients. Nevertheless, the long-term prognosis of patients with HCC is not optimistic. In recent years, tumor humoral detection has attracted extensive attention and is expected to become the main examination method for early tumor screening. Studies have found that serum LDH is an indicator with effective potential to predict tumor proliferation and progression, such as pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, etc., but the relationship between this indicator and the prognosis of HCC is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between serum LDH and the prognosis of patients with HCC, so as to provide an important scientific basis for prognosis judgment of HCC.
