1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Atezolizumab and bevacizumab are currently available as first-line treatments for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, but immune-related adverse events are a major concern. We herein report two cases of isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency. Both patients presented with general fatigue, appetite loss, eosinophilia, and hyponatremia after nine cycles in case 1 and three months after stopping treatment for inflammatory arthritis in case 2. Endocrinological investigations revealed unsatisfactory ACTH and cortisol responses despite the preservation of other anterior pituitary hormones, suggesting isolated ACTH deficiency. As it is rapidly improved by steroid replacement therapy, an early diagnosis and treatment make it possible to resume immunotherapy.
