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
Purpose: Lenvatinib and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor on infiltrative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have obtained demonstrated efficacy and still need improvement. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has shown promising results for advanced HCC. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of HAIC combined Lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor versus Lenvatinib combined PD-1 inhibitor for infiltrative HCC. Patients and Methods: A total of 232 patients were enrolled. There were 114 patients received Lenvatinib combined PD-1 inhibitor (Len+PD-1 group) and 118 patients received HAIC combined Lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor (HAIC+Len+PD-1 group). Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and safety of patients were compared between the two groups by propensity score-matching (PSM). Results: The 6-, 12-, and 24-month OS rates were 93.8%, 65.1% and 13.4% in Len+PD-1 group, and 100%, 77.3% and 32.1% in HAIC+Len+PD-1 group, respectively. The 3-, 6-, and 12-month PFS rates were 86.4%, 45.7% and 14.1% in Len+PD-1 group, and 95.1%, 59.3% and 25.9% in HAIC+Len+PD-1 group, respectively. The HAIC+Len+PD-1 group had obviously better survival than the Len+PD-1 group both in OS (P=0.002) and PFS (P=0.004). Subgroup analysis revealed that OS in patients with metastasis was improved with HAIC+Len+PD-1 treatment. Patients with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) response after treatment showed better survival than the non-response. In addition, HAIC+Len+PD-1 group showed manageable adverse events (AEs). Conclusion: Patient with infiltrative HCC, HAIC+Len+PD-1 treatment had longer OS and PFS than Len+PD-1 treatment. Early AFP response was an effective indicator of better survival and tumor response to therapy.
