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

Double Primary Hepatic Cancer (DPHC) which refers to synchronous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) coexisting in the same liver, has rarely been reported. Here we discussed the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of DPHC based on an analysis of 12 DPHC cases. Meanwhile, data of 60 HCC cases and 60 ICC cases were collected at a ratio of 5:1 and with matched age and gender to DPHC in the same period. A total of 4,626 cases of primary liver cancer were screened, and the proportion of DPHC was approximately 0.26%. Hepatitis B Virus prevalence in the DPHC group (83.3%) was higher than that in the ICC group (38.3%). Lymph node metastasis was more common in the DPHC group (16.7%) compared to the HCC group (1.7%). The median disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) for DPHC were 6.0±2.6 months and 15.0±1.7 months, respectively. Pathological diagnosis indicated a significant effect of preoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) on HCC, but limited efficacy on ICC. Both alpha fetoprotein and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels were elevated in the DPHC group. In conclusion, the preferred treatment for DPHC is radical resection and regional lymphadenectomy. Preoperative TACE is effective for DPHC with large HCC components. The prognosis for DPHC is marked by high recurrence and high mortality.
