Response-survival Association Differs by Hepatic Reserve in Unresectable HCC Receiving Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab.
Article in Cancer diagnosis & prognosis. 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
Background/Aim: Evidence supporting atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Atez/Bev) for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) in patients with Child-Pugh B (CP-B) liver function is limited. We investigated whether the prognostic significance of radiologic response differs according to hepatic reserve and evaluated the impact of baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 105 consecutive patients with uHCC treated with Atez/Bev (CP-A, n=82; CP-B, n=23). Tumor response was assessed by modified RECIST, and overall survival (OS) was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Baseline NLR was evaluated using a prespecified cut-off of 2.56. Results: Response was not evaluable more often in CP-B than in CP-A (21.7% Conclusion: The prognostic meaning of radiologic response differed according to hepatic reserve. While objective response is strongly associated with survival in CP-A, disease stabilization may represent clinically meaningful benefit in CP-B. Baseline NLR may aid risk stratification in CP-B uHCC treated with Atez/Bev.
