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

opinion statementHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common type of tumor worldwide. The development of systemic treatment of advanced HCC has remained stagnant for a considerable period. During the last years, a series of new treatment regimens based on the combination of immunotherapeutic drugs and targeted drugs have been gradually developed, increased the objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and progression free survival (PFS) of HCC patients. Among the different combination therapy groups, atezolizumab plus bevacizumab and sintilimab plus IBI-305 seem to have unique advantages, while head-to-head comparisons are still needed. A comprehensive understanding of the developments, the ongoing clinical trials and the mechanisms of combination of immunotherapy and targeted therapy might lead to the development of new combination strategies and solving current challenges such as the molecular biomarkers, the clinical administration order of drugs and the second-line treatments after combination therapy.
