Impact of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease on the efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Cancer biology & medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 investigate the impact of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) on the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
methodsA total of 155 patients with CHB-related HCC who received ICI-based therapy (in the Department of Hepatology, Tianjin Second People's Hospital and Department of Hepatobiliary Oncology, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital) between April 2021 and December 2023 were evaluated. Patients were divided into two groups: MASLD concurrent with CHB [MASLD-CHB] (
resultsThe median progression-free survival (PFS, 6.9 months
conclusionsICI-based therapy in patients with CHB-related HCC and concurrent MASLD resulted in poorer efficacy and shorter PFS compared to patients with CHB-related HCC alone.
