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

Objective: To evaluate the baseline albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade's role in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus anti-angiogenesis therapies and PD-1 inhibitors (TACE+TP) versus anti-angiogenesis therapies and PD-1 inhibitors (TP). Methods: This multicenter retrospective study enrolled advanced HCC undergoing TACE+TP or TP from January 2019 to June 2023 at three hospitals in China. The primary outcomes were time to progression of the ALBI grade and change in ALBI score between the initial baseline and the final assessment point available, the secondary outcomes consisted of overall survival (OS) as well as progression-free survival (PFS). Results: One hundred and eighty-three patients were ultimately enrolled in this study for analysis, of whom 44 were categorized as having an ALBI grade 1 (TACE+TP, n = 23; TP, n = 21) and 139 were classified as ALBI grade 2 (n = 77; n = 62). Time to progression of the ALBI grade, indicating liver function deterioration, was comparable between the TACE+TP and TP groups (median, 11.2 vs 19.3 months; P = 0.353). Change in ALBI score between the initial baseline and the final assessment point available was comparable among the two groups (difference in least squares mean, 0.084). Irrespective of the initial ALBI grade, patients in TACE+TP group exhibited a significant enhancement in OS and displayed a promising trend towards better PFS. Conclusion: TACE+TP had no negative influence on liver function and enhanced survival regardless of baseline ALBI grade when compared to TP in advanced HCC patients.
