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

Purpose: The current therapeutic strategies for high-risk, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients demonstrate suboptimal outcomes. This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of the combined approach of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), lenvatinib, and tislelizumab, either with or without transhepatic arterial embolization (TAE), in managing HCC patients with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) and significant tumor load. Patients and Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, we analyzed patients diagnosed with primary, unresectable HCC presenting with PVTT and substantial tumor load who had undergone treatment with HAIC, lenvatinib, and tislelizumab, with or without TAE (referred to as the THLP or HLP group), between January 2019 and February 2022 across four medical centers in China. The outcomes included objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Results: The study cohort comprised 100 patients, 50 each in the THLP and HLP groups. The THLP group demonstrated a significantly superior ORR (72% vs 52%, Conclusion: The combination of HAIC, lenvatinib, tislelizumab, and TAE was feasible in HCC patients with PVTT and high tumor burden, with tolerable safety.
