Efficiency and safety of HAIC combined with lenvatinib and tislelizumab for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with high tumor burden: a multicenter propensity score matching analysis.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: The present work focused on assessing whether hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with lenvatinib and tislelizumab was safe and effective on advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showing high tumor burden. Methods: In the present multicenter retrospective study, treatment-naive advanced HCC patients (BCLC stage C) showing high tumor burden (maximum diameter of intrahepatic lesion beyond 7 cm) treated with lenvatinib and tislelizumab with or without HAIC were reviewed for eligibility from June 2020 to June 2023. Baseline differences between groups were mitigated by propensity score matching (PSM). Our primary endpoint was overall survival (OS); and secondary endpoints included adverse events (AEs), progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR) and objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, respectively. Results: After eligibility reviewed, total 162 patients treated with lenvatinib and tislelizumab were enrolled: 63 patients with HAIC (HTP group), and the remaining 99 patients without HAIC (TP group). After PSM 1:1, 47 cases were evenly divided into each group. Of them, HTP group showed significant prolonged median OS compared with TP group (16.6 versus 21.0 months; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.26, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.35-0.98; Conclusion: HAIC combined with lenvatinib and tislelizumab is the candidate treatment for advanced HCC patients because of its improved prognosis and acceptable safety.
