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 one of the most common malignant tumors globally and is the most prevalent type of primary liver cancer, posing a heavy burden on global health. Surgical resection and liver transplantation are the gold standard for the radical treatment of HCC. However, due to the heterogeneity and high invasiveness of HCC, the rates of local and distant recurrence are extremely high, with over 70% of patients experiencing recurrence within 5 years after treatment, significantly impacting the long-term quality of life. Therefore, researchers are exploring other treatment methods to reduce tumor recurrence and improve patient survival. To date, extensive research has concentrated on new alternative therapies, including radiotherapy (
