Case Report: Massive Hepatocellular Carcinoma Complete Surgical Resection After Portal Vein Embolization and Multimodality Therapy.
Article in Frontiers in radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A high proportion of massive patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not amenable for surgical resection at initial diagnosis, owing to insufficient future liver remnant (FLR) or an inadequate surgical margin. For such patients, portal vein embolization (PVE) is an essential approach to allow liver hypertrophy and prepare for subsequent surgery. However, the conversion resection rate of PVE only is unsatisfactory because of tumor progression while awaiting liver hypertrophy. We report here a successfully treated case of primary massive HCC, where surgical resection was completed after PVE and multimodality therapy, comprising hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), Lenvatinib plus Sintilimab. A pathologic complete response was achieved. This case demonstrates for the first time that combined PVE with multimodality therapy appears to be safe and effective for massive, potentially resectable HCC and can produce deep pathological remission in a primary tumor.
