Spontaneous regression of hepatocellular carcinoma in a pure palliative care setting.
Article in Journal of general and family medicine, 2023. 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
We report a case of spontaneous remission of hepatocellular carcinoma in an 84-year-old woman who was managed in our best supportive care clinic. The tumor, once relapsed regardless of the application of conventional transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation, regressed spontaneously within 4 months. The presence of an occlusive thrombus in the portal vein feeding to the site of the tumor suggests that the reduced blood supply might have caused tumor necrosis. Furthermore, the successful eradication of hepatitis C virus maintained performance status, and good nutrition might play other roles on it.
