Recombinant human adenovirus p53 combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for liver cancer: A meta-analysis.
Synthesis in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivesTo compare the clinical curative effects, survival and complications of recombinant human adenovirus-p53 (rAd-p53) combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) versus TACE for the treatment of liver cancer.
methodsWe searched all the eligible studies of rAd-p53 plus TACE versus control group had only TACE in the treatment of liver cancer, which were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang database, CBM, VIP, PubMed, EMBase, The Chrance of Library, Web of Science from its inception to august 2022.
resultsA total of 17 studies were included, which involved 1045 patients. The results of the meta analysis indicated that the the rAd-p53combined with TACE markedly improved the patients' complete remission(OR = 2.19, 95% CI:1.13-4.22, P = 0.02), partial remission (OR = 2.22, 95% CI:1.67-2.94, P<0.00001), objective tumor response rate (OR = 2.58, 95% CI:1.95-3.41, P<0.00001) and disease control rate(OR = 2.39, 95% CI:1.65-3.47, P<0.00001) compared with TACE alone. And our results showed that rAd-p53combined with TACE had better survival benefit [6-month OS (OR = 3.41, 95% CI: 1.62-7.14, p = 0.001); 1-year OS (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.28-2.96, p = 0.002)] and better quality of life(MD = 5.84, 95% CI:2.09-9.60, P = 0.002). In addition, the immunity of the patients was enhanced by the combination therapy, as demonstrated by the increase in the ratio of CD4+ to CD4+/CD8+. In adverse effects, except for fever in the TACE combined with rAd-p53 group, which was higher than that in the TACE group(OR = 2.62, 95% CI:2.02-3.49, P<0.00001), all other adverse effects were lower in the TACE combined with rAd-p53 group than in the TACE group.
conclusionRAd-p53 combined with TACE for liver cancer showed significant advantages in terms of clinical efficacy, survival rate, and safety compared to the TACE alone, and effectively improved patient quality of life and immune function.
