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

aimsHepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with oxaliplatin plus raltitrexed showed a promising response rate in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a phase 2 trial. Here, we report the updated 3-year survival data after enrollment.

methodsIn this prospective trial, we enrolled patients with intermediate and advanced unresectable HCC. The treatment was HAIC with raltitrexed plus oxaliplatin.

resultsThe objective responses were achieved in 19 (48.7%) of 39 patients in the intention-to-treat population. The median overall survival and progress-free survival were 11.2 and 6.5 months, respectively.

conclusionThe 3-year survival update confirmed the antitumor activity and long-term survival benefit of HAIC with oxaliplatin plus raltitrexed in patients with unresectable HCC. CLINICAL
