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

Purpose: Outcomes in the treatment of unresectable infiltrative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are poorly understood, and infiltrative HCC is generally underrepresented in clinical trials. The present study explored outcomes associated with the treatment of infiltrative HCC with various systemic therapies. Patients and Methods: We enrolled all patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage C infiltrative or multinodular HCC who received first-line systemic therapy between January 2015 and December 2021 at a single center. We compared baseline characteristics and treatment outcomes for the two HCC subtypes. Results: In total, 260 patients were enrolled, 128 (49.2%) of whom had infiltrative HCC. Patients with infiltrative HCC were more likely to have macrovascular invasion (91.4% vs 68.2%, Conclusion: In patients receiving ICI-based therapy for HCC, infiltrative HCC was associated with poorer outcomes.
