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

Hepatectomy is the curative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with targeted therapy used when resection is difficult. In this rare case, the tumor shrank with targeted therapy, enabling radical treatment through conversion surgery. The patient, a man in his 70s, developed an 11.5-cm HCC (T3N0M0 Stage III) in the posterior hepatic zone after being virologically negative for hepatitis C. The tumor was near the right portal vein branch, making the liver lobe unresectable due to poor liver function. Upon tumor enlargement, he was treated with atezolizumab and bevacizumab. After 5 courses, the tumor significantly shrank, allowing for complete resection with posterior segment removal. The surgery revealed mostly necrotic tumors with no active cancer cells remaining.
