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: Immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy is a key approach for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of clinical and CT features in Camrelizumab plus Apatinib treatment for these patients. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on unresectable HCC patients who received camrelizumab plus Apatinib treatment from June 2019 to August 2021. Clinical and contrast-enhanced CT features were analyzed. Logistic regression identified predictors of objective response, and Cox regression assessed prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Nomograms were constructed based on independent predictors. Results: Among 109 patients, the median OS was 20 months, median PFS was 9 months, and the ORR was 43.1%. Independent predictors of objective response included AFP ≥ 400 ng/mL (OR = 6.31), NLR ≥ 3.2 (OR = 3.72), tumor numbers ≥ 3 (OR = 3.93), and ΔAER < 15% (OR = 10.99), the AUC for objective response model was 0.874. Independent factors for PFS included AFP ≥ 400 ng/mL (HR = 2.04) and ΔAER < 15% (HR = 2.57), resulting in a model AUC of 0.859. Independent factors for OS were NLR ≥ 3.2 (HR = 2.07), Tumor numbers ≥ 3 (HR = 2.68), and extrahepatic metastasis (HR = 2.32), with an AUC of 0.848 and 0.866 for 1- and 2-year survival, respectively. Conclusion: Clinical and contrast-enhanced show significant prognostic value in patients receiving Camrelizumab plus Apatinib. The developed models may assist in identifying responsive patients and personalizing treatment strategies.
