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

Introduction: The progression patterns, dispositions, and outcomes of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who achieved durable responses with immunotherapy remain poorly characterized. Methods: Patients with advanced HCC who received immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based immunotherapy and achieved durable responses were retrospectively included. A durable response was defined as partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) per RECIST 1.1 for more than 8 months after initiation of immunotherapy. Oligoprogression and polyprogression were defined as progression at ≤3 and >3 lesions, respectively. Results: A total of 91 durable responders (63 PR and 28 SD) were identified. The majority had chronic viral hepatitis ( Conclusion: Approximately 60% of the post-immunotherapy durable responders of HCC subsequently develop progression. Proactive LRT may further rescue patients who develop subsequent oligoprogression. Prospective studies are mandatory to clarify the proper management of durable responders with subsequent progression.
