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

Primary liver cancer (PLC) is the third major cause of cancer related death, which seriously affects the survival period and quality of life of patients. However, there is currently no evidence to prove which treatment method is most effective. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has shown certain advantages in the treatment of PLC, especially in the side effects of Western Medicine. Therefore, we designed a clinical trial protocol for the treatment of PLC using TCM granules. Our purpose is to explore the efficacy and safety of Yangxiao Fukang granule (YXFKG, ) in the treatment of stage III hepatitis B related PLC. A total of 216 patients from three hospitals in Henan Province will be enrolled and randomly divided into a trial group and a control group in a 1∶1 ratio. The trial group will be treated with conventional western medicine plus YXFKG, while the control group will receive conventional western medicine plus a placebo for YXFKG. All patients will receive a daily dose of either YXFKG or a placebo for six months, followed by a six-month follow-up period. The main observation outcome includes 1-year survival rate, while secondary outcomes include conversion rate to remission, objective response rate, progression free survival, overall survival, quality of life score, and TCM clinical symptom score. Blood routine, urine routine, stool routine, electrocardiogram, liver and kidney function, coagulation function test, and D-dimer are safety indicators. Collect data before treatment and during the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of treatment, and conduct statistical analysis. This study will preliminarily verify the effectiveness and safety of YXFKG in the treatment of stage III hepatitis B related PLC, which may provide a new choice for clinical treatment of PLC.
