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

backgroundThis study was designed to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Gamma Knife

aimTo investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Gamma Knife

methodsClinical data from 51 patients with primary liver cancer admitted to our hospital between May 2018 and October 2022 were retrospectively collected. All patients underwent Gamma Knife

resultsThe last follow-up for this study was conducted on October 31, 2023. Clinical evaluation of the 51 patients with primary liver cancer revealed a partial response (PR) in 27 patients, accounting for 52.94% (27/51); stable disease (SD) in 16 patients, accounting for 31.37% (16/51); and progressive disease (PD) in 8 patients, accounting for 15.69% (8/51). The objective response rate was 52.94%, and the disease control rate was 84.31%. Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and alpha-fetoprotein isoform levels decreased after treatment compared with pretreatment (all
