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

A 45-year-old male with chronic hepatitis B presented with an advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occupying the entire left liver and invading the left portal vein. Despite multiple poor prognostic imaging features, including vascular invasion, corona enhancement, an incomplete capsule, intratumoral necrosis, intratumoral arteries, and irregular tumor borders, the patient elected to undergo a left hepatectomy. Although Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging classified the case as stage C, a resection was successfully performed. Remarkably, 6 years postsurgery, the patient remains recurrence-free. This report highlights a rare, fortunate outcome in a high-risk HCC case and underscores the potential of surgical intervention even in advanced HCC.
