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) is a major cause of cancer-related mortality; it ranks as the second most common cause of cancer deaths in China. Most HCC patients are first diagnosed at an advanced stage. In recent years, targeted therapy combined with immunotherapy has become the preferred regimen for systemic treatment of intermediate-advanced HCC, while targeted therapy combined with immunotherapy plus local treatment could further improve the efficacy in many clinical studies. To better guide the clinical treatment for effective and safe combination therapy, our interdisciplinary panel on the treatment of intermediate-advanced HCC comprising hepatologists, hepatobiliary surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, interventional radiologists, and traditional Chinese medicine physicians have formulated this consensus based on current clinical studies and clinical medication experience for reference. The consensus contained 15 recommendations, including the applicable population and management, local treatment selection, conversion strategy, treatment strategy after tumor progression and management of common adverse reactions.
