Pretreatment Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as Prognostic Biomarkers in Patients with Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated with Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy Combined with Lenvatinib and Camrelizumab.

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
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC) treated with hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with lenvatinib and camrelizumab. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving patients diagnosed with u-HCC who underwent HAIC combined with lenvatinib and camrelizumab. Patients were stratified into two cohorts using the median NLR as the cutoff point. We then assessed treatment response, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and adverse events in these patient groups. Results: Between October 2020 and April 2022, a total of 88 patients were enrolled in the study. The overall cohort exhibited a median PFS of 7.9 months, while the median OS was not reached, and a median NLR of 3.46. Notably, the group with NLR<3.46 demonstrated significantly superior OS (not reached vs 9.6 months, Conclusion: NLR can be associated with outcomes in patients with u-HCC treated with HAIC combined with lenvatinib and camrelizumab.
