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

objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of camrelizumab and apatinib in the treatment of liver cancer and to furnish clinical recommendations for pharmacological interventions.

methodsPubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library were scrutinized for research publications from their inception to 22 December 2023. Bibliographic perusal and data procurement were executed. The quality of the included studies was evaluated employing the MINORS tool. Meta-analysis was conducted utilizing Stata 15.0 software.

resultsA total of 10 studies involving 849 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The study revealed that the objective response rate (ORR) of the combined therapy was 28% (95% CI: 23%-34%), the disease control rate (DCR) was 69% (95% CI: 64%-73%), the median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 5.87 months (95% CI: 4.96-6.78), the median overall survival (mOS) was 19.35 months (95% CI: 17.53-21.17), the incidence of any grade adverse events was 90% (95% CI: 85%-95%), and the occurrence of grade 3 or higher adverse events was 49% (95% CI: 27%-71%).

conclusionThe combination of camrelizumab and apatinib exhibits commendable effectiveness in the management of liver cancer; nevertheless, vigilance should be exercised concerning potential adverse reactions in clinical applications to enhance the safety of pharmacological interventions.
