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: Atezolizumab (1200 mg) plus bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) every 3 weeks (AtezBev) became a standard-of-care first-line treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC) following IMbrave150. However, real-world data suggest milder efficacy. Early bevacizumab interruption due to adverse events (AEs) is a frequent occurrence in real-world scenario associated with poor prognosis. Additionally, early bevacizumab dose/time modifications (eBEVmod) may negatively impact outcome. Materials and methods: Data from AtezBev-treated aHCC patients ( Results: In the overall population, the median (m) follow-up was 11.4 months, mOS was 20.5 months, mPFS was 10.4 months, ORR was 31% and DCR was 75%. ROC on 3-month cumulative bevacizumab dose revealed an area under the curve of 0.74 ( Conclusions: eBEVmod is an independent unfavorable prognostic factor of response and survival in AtezBev-treated aHCC patients. Optimization of bevacizumab AE management to reduce eBEVmod may substantially improve treatment outcome in real-world practice.
