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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a significant clinical challenge due to high mortality and limited treatment options. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is commonly used but can be limited by tumor recurrence. This study explores the potential of combining RFA with an attenuated Salmonella strain carrying siRNA-PD-L1 and endostatin to enhance HCC treatment. In this study, an H22 subcutaneous tumor mouse model was used, with animals divided into five groups for treatment with a blank control, a blank Salmonella plasmid, RFA alone, siRNA-PD-L1-endostatin, or a combination of RFA and siRNA-PD-L1-endostatin. The combination therapy significantly reduced tumor growth, angiogenesis, and PD-L1/VEGF expression in tumor tissues post-RFA. Additionally, it induced tumor cell apoptosis, inhibited proliferation and migration, and increased the infiltration of T lymphocytes, granzyme B
