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

Background & aims: Little is known about molecular biomarkers that predict the response and prognosis in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with programmed death (PD)-1 inhibitors. Methods: A total of 62 HCC patients who underwent next-generation sequencing were retrospectively included in our department for this study. Patients with unresectable disease were subjected to systemic therapy. PD-1 inhibitors intervention (PD-1Ab) group and nonPD-1Ab group included 20 and 13 patients, respectively. Primary resistance was defined as initial on-treatment progression or progression with an initial stable disease of less than 6 months. Results: Chromosome 11q13 amplification (Amp11q13) was the most common copy number variation in our cohort. Fifteen (24.2%) patients harbored Amp11q13 in our dataset. Patients with Amp11q13 showed higher level of Des-γ-carboxy-prothrombin (DCP), tumor number and were more prone to be combined with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT). In the PD-1Ab group, the proportion of progressive disease (PD) in patients with Amp11q13 was significantly higher than that in patients with nonAmp11q13 (100% vs 33.3%, Conclusion: HCC patients with Amp11q13 are less likely to benefit from PD-1 blockade therapies. These findings may help guide the use of immunotherapy for HCC in routine clinical practice.
