Hepatocolic fistula in hepatocellular carcinoma treated with atezolizumab-bevacizumab: a case report on successful salvage hepatectomy.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Combined treatment with atezolizumab (ATZ) and bevacizumab (BV) is the first-line therapy for unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We report a rare case of hepatocolic fistula during ATZ + BV therapy, successfully treated with salvage hepatectomy. A 72-year-old man with advanced HCC underwent treatment with ATZ + BV. After seven cycles, he presented with abdominal pain. Imaging revealed ascites and free air, leading to an emergency laparotomy, where panperitonitis was diagnosed. Despite lavage and drainage, postoperative fever persisted. Further imaging identified a liver abscess, requiring emergency ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage. Contrast studies confirmed a hepatocolic fistula. The patient underwent ileostomy for abscess management, followed by extended posterior sectionectomy and right hemicolectomy on Day 25. He was discharged 37 days after final surgery without complications.
