Efficacy of Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy Combined With Regorafenib and Sintilimab Versus Regorafenib Alone in MSS/pMMR Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases After Second-Line Treatment Failure.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMicrosatellite stable/proficient mismatch repair (MSS/pMMR) colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM) have limited treatment options after failure of second-line systemic therapies. Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with targeted therapy and immunotherapy may offer improved outcomes.
methodsThis retrospective single-center study compared the efficacy and safety of HAIC (oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin) combined with regorafenib and sintilimab (HAIC-R-S) versus regorafenib monotherapy in MSS/pMMR CRCLM patients refractory to ≥ 2 lines of systemic therapy. Propensity score matching was used to balance baseline characteristics, resulting in 45 matched pairs (n = 90). Survival outcomes, tumor response, and adverse events (AEs) were analyzed.
resultsThe HAIC-R-S group showed significantly improved median progression-free survival (PFS) (6.5 vs. 3.4 months; p < 0.001) and overall survival (OS) (14.1 vs. 8.1 months; p < 0.001) compared to regorafenib alone. Objective response rate (ORR) (37.8% vs. 2.2%; p < 0.001) and disease control rate (71.1% vs. 42.2%; p = 0.006) were also superior. Grade ≥ 3 AEs were more frequent in the combination group (26.7% vs. 13.3%), primarily hematologic toxicities.
conclusionIn this retrospective, hypothesis-generating study, HAIC (oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin) combined with regorafenib and sintilimab showed improved PFS, OS, and ORRs compared with regorafenib monotherapy in refractory MSS/pMMR CRCLM, albeit with increased hematologic toxicity. These findings require validation in prospective, multicenter randomized trials before clinical implementation.
