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

purposeTo report outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with lobar and segmental vascular invasion treated with resin Yttrium-90 transarterial radioembolization (Y90-TARE) with single-compartment MIRD (Medical Internal Radiation Dose) model. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective IRB approved study of patients with a diagnosis of HCC with vascular invasion undergoing resin Y90-TARE from 2014 to 2022 (n = 61). Patients with Body Surface Area dosimetry (n = 20), main portal vein invasion (n = 6) and patients with an ECOG of > 2 were excluded (n = 1) with a final cohort of 34 patients.

resultsStudy population consisted of 34 patients, median age 62 years [60-71], tumor size 4.2 (2.8-7.4) cm, and 82% male. The median prescribed dose was 170 (126-200) Gy. The objective response rate at 6 months was 67% and disease control rate was 72%. The median survival was 18 months, median progression-free survival was 9.8 months. The 1- and 3-year survival rates were 76% and 57% in patients prescribed > 180 Gy, compared to 29% and 15% in patients with < 180 Gy (p = 0.01). Five of 15 Childs-Pugh A, ECOG < 1 patients (33%) were downstaged to resection, with complete pathologic necrosis in 40%, and 1 and 3-year survival rates of 100%. Grade-3 adverse events were seen in only 5/34 (15%), with no grade-4 or 5 adverse events.

conclusionResin Y90-TARE using single compartment MIRD model for HCC with segmental and lobar vascular invasion can result in downstaging to resection in 33% of patients and higher prescribed doses (> 180 Gy) result in improved survival.
