Massive bleeding from a gastric artery pseudoaneurysm in hepatocellular carcinoma treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab: A case report.

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
backgroundThe combination of atezolizumab (ATZ) and bevacizumab (BVZ) was approved as first-line systemic therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) owing to its superior rates of response and patient survival. However, ATZ + BVZ is associated with increased risk of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, including arterial bleeding, which is rare and potentially fatal. We present a case of massive upper GI bleeding from a gastric pseudoaneurysm in a patient with advanced HCC who had been treated with ATZ + BVZ. CASE SUMMARY: A 67-year-old man presented with severe upper GI bleeding after atezolizumab (ATZ) + bevacizumab (BVZ) therapy for HCC. Endoscopy failed to detect the bleeding site. Digital subtraction angiography revealed a gastric artery pseudoaneurysm and contrast extravasation from the inferior splenic artery and a branch of the left gastric artery. Successful hemostasis was achieved with embolization.
conclusionHCC patients who have been treated with ATZ + BVZ should be followed for 3 to 6 mo to monitor for development of massive GI bleeding. Diagnosis may require angiography. Embolization is an effective treatment.
