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.
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
Objective: To evaluate the potential and efficacy of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy combined with the PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody cadonilimab and the multi-kinase inhibitor donafenib in conversion therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) with Vp4-type portal vein tumor thrombus(PVTT). Methods: We present a case report of a 41-year-old male diagnosed with diffuse hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the right lobe of the liver and tumor thrombus involving the main portal vein. Following multidisciplinary team evaluation, the patient received conversion therapy consisting of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) using oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, in combination with cadonilimab and donafenib. Results: Post-treatment imaging demonstrated marked regression of intrahepatic tumors and complete resolution of the portal vein tumor thrombus. Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels normalized, and protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) levels showed a significant decline. Subsequently, a radical right hepatectomy was successfully performed, and postoperative pathological examination confirmed complete response. The patient experienced an uneventful recovery and remained free of tumor recurrence during the one-year follow-up period. Conclusion: The integrative treatment strategy combining HAIC with cadonilimab and donafenib demonstrates considerable promise as a conversion approach for patients with traditionally unresectable HCC with Vp4-type PVTT. This regimen may substantially improve oncological outcomes and enable curative resection. This case provides compelling evidence to support further clinical investigation of this multimodal therapeutic combination.
