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
Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab is the first-line regimen in Japan for hepatocellular carcinoma following the results of the IMbrave 150 trial. However, the safety and efficiency of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab in older patients, especially in the oldest-old patients aged over 80 years, have not been thoroughly studied and is still controversial. Eighteen months ago, a 90-year-old woman underwent a laparoscopic hepatectomy (S6) for her primary hepatocellular carcinoma (S6, 2 cm). Nine months after the first surgery, she received transcatheter arterial chemoembolization treatment for solitary hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence (S8, 2 cm). The subsequent recurrence (S3, 1 cm; S5, 2 cm; S8, 1 cm) was uncovered by radiological assessment 1 year after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization treatment. We then initiated chemotherapy treatment with lenvatinib at 8 mg daily. Despite reducing the lenvatinib dosage, the adverse event of severe fatigue and asitia did not resolve; therefore, the regimen of atezolizumab + bevacizumab combination therapy was changed to be started. After the first 2 months, tumor regression was observed on computed tomography; the patient tolerated the atezolizumab + bevacizumab combination regimen over 8 months for 10 cycles without any adverse effects. She finally showed a complete response; no recurrence developed 1 year after the complete response. Therefore, older adult patients may benefit highly from atezolizumab plus bevacizumab with appropriate patient selection.
