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

Systemic treatment for unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily comprises targeted therapy and immunotherapy, which have demonstrated improved therapeutic efficacy compared with chemotherapy. However, the overall efficacy for patients remains below expectations. Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), a novel approach in the treatment of HCC, involves the direct and continuous administration of chemotherapeutic drugs to liver tumors through catheters. The high concentration of chemotherapeutic drugs not only rapidly reduces tumor burden but also induces immunogenic cell death, promoting the release of tumor-associated antigens, tumor-specific antigens and damage-associated molecular patterns. This markedly enhances the infiltration of dendritic cells and antigen-specific CD8
