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

Doxorubicin is an effective chemotherapeutic drug used in transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Although very effective, this molecule is known for its potential severe cardiotoxicity, which was the purpose for the development of drug-eluting beads-TACE that showed similar efficacy and improved safety. We present the case of a 58-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma who received 5 treatments of conventional TACE with doxorubicin and developed severe cardiotoxicity. Although the cardiotoxic effect of TACE with doxorubicin has already been reported in the literature, this case has serious implications, because the patient had to be removed from the liver transplant waitlist and this development could have been prevented. We believe that this complication of TACE should be more known, and hence more sought out. We also believe that drug-eluting beads-TACE should be preferred because it was proven safer in more frail patients.
