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

backgroundDespite therapeutic advances, outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain suboptimal, underscoring the need to explore more effective treatment strategies.

aimTo compare efficacy and prognosis in HCC patients treated with synchronous

methodsA total of 106 patients with HCC admitted between March 2022 and March 2024 were included. Patients receiving concurrent TACE and MWA constituted the synchronous group (

resultsNo significant intergroup differences were observed in curative efficacy, ablation power, prognosis, or overall complication rates (

conclusionSynchronous TACE combined with MWA is non-inferior to the sequential approach regarding therapeutic efficacy, survival outcomes, safety, and tumor control in HCC. Notably, the synchronous strategy offers procedural advantages by reducing ablation attempts and shortening treatment duration.
