Improving immunotherapy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma: learning from patients and preclinical models.
Review in Gut and liver, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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), the third cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, continues to present significant therapeutic challenges. Despite significant therapeutic advancement in the last decade, the efficacy of systemic treatments for patients with advanced HCC remains unsatisfactory. While the clinical introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors has improved response rates and overall survival, their clinical success remains still limited. Here we provide a comprehensive review of current and emerging strategies aimed at enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy for the treatment of HCC. Both clinical studies conducted in patients as well as studies in preclinical models have markedly advanced our understanding of resistance as well as uncovered novel approaches to overcome resistance. Recent progress is paving the way for improved efficacy and safety of novel approaches that will improve the dismal prognosis of patients with advanced HCC.
