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

Background: To explore the impact of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA on the efficacy of triple therapy [transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), lenvatinib, and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitors] in the treatment of HBV-related unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC). Methods: We retrospectively collected clinical data on triple therapy for HBV-related u-HCC from January 2020 to January 2024 at Xiangyang Central Hospital. Patients with HBV-DNA ≤ 1000 IU/mL were designated the low HBV-DNA level group, and patients with HBV-DNA > 1000 IU/mL were designated the high HBV-DNA level group. The primary endpoint of this study was to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), between the low HBV-DNA level and high HBV-DNA level groups. The secondary endpoint compares the objective response rate (ORR) between the two groups. Results: Data from 95 patients were obtained, with 41 patients in the low HBV-DNA level group and 54 patients in the high HBV-DNA level group. After treatment, the median PFS and OS was 10.00 months and 25.03 months in the low HBV-DNA level group and 7.23 months and 15.00 months in the high HBV-DNA level group (all P < 0.05). The low HBV-DNA level group had an ORR of 30 patients, and the high HBV-DNA level group had 32 patients (85.37% vs 64.81%, P = 0.024). Conclusion: HBV-DNA > 1000 IU/mL is associated with poorer prognosis in patients with HBV-related u-HCC treated with triple therapy. In triple therapy for HBV-related u-HCC, HBV-DNA levels above 1000 IU/mL should be actively controlled.
