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.

Abstract

This phase II study (ALTER-H006; NCT05111366) evaluates adjuvant benmelstobart plus anlotinib in patients with high-risk recurrence (including ≥4 tumors, portal vein tumor thrombus [Vp1/2], or hepatic vein tumor thrombus [Vv1/2]) after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resection. Primary endpoint is 1-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate. Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), 1-year OS rate, RFS, and safety. Median follow-up is 12.6 months. Among 37 patients enrolled, 1-year RFS rate is 59.7%, and median RFS is 15.6 months. Subgroups with Vp1/2 and Vv1/2 show median RFS of 18.2 months and not reached (NR), respectively. The longest recurrence-free duration is 25.9 months. Median OS is NR (1-year OS rate, 91.7%). Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events occur in 45.9% of patients, most commonly hypertension. No treatment-related deaths occur. Here, we show that adjuvant benmelstobart plus anlotinib is a feasible treatment option for HCC patients with high-risk recurrence after HCC resection, warranting confirmation in large-scale randomized clinical trials.
