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

Aims: In March 2024, the American Society of Clinical Oncology recommended the combination of tremelimumab plus durvalumab as a treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although safety data for first-line treatments are available, information on adverse events related to late-line treatments is limited. This study aimed to identify risk factors for adverse events in patients who received this combination. Methods and Results: We conducted a retrospective cohort study from March 2023 to January 2025 at Yokohama City University Hospital, involving 24 patients aged 18 years or older with unresectable HCC. All 24 patients experienced at least one adverse event during treatment. Of these, the incidence of treatment-related adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation after tremelimumab plus durvalumab therapy was 50.0% (12/24). In the discontinuation group, prior atezolizumab plus bevacizumab therapy (66.7% vs. 16.7%, Conclusion: In patients with unresectable HCC who received tremelimumab plus durvalumab, the risk of treatment-related adverse events was associated with prior atezolizumab plus bevacizumab therapy. These factors may increase the likelihood of developing treatment-related adverse events.
