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

The effects of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) on the systemic immune in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not well understood. We aimed to reveal the temporal and spatial changes in the immune profile of peripheral blood and tumor tissues in HCC patients following TACE. Eighty-four HCC patients were included, 20 of whom received TACE with a median follow-up of 28 months. Immune cell proportion within peripheral blood was profiled with flow cytometry, and therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by imaging examinations. Additionally, cell distribution within tumor microenvironment (TME) were compared between the necrotic tumor infiltration zone (N-IZ) and the residual tumor infiltration zone (R-IZ) by multiplex immunofluorescence. Among 20 patients, 25% (5/20) achieved complete response, and 75% (15/20) showed partial response. Fourteen patients received combinational targeted therapy and immunotherapy and the median progression-free survival was 15.5 months. Compared to healthy individuals, HCC exhibited significantly higher proportions of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and programmed death-1 receptor (PD1)
