A recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma with incomplete response to conventional treatments, showing substantial regression and good quality of life by Ayurveda treatment: A case report.

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
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a major global health concern with limited treatment options and high recurrence rates. This case study presents a 68-year-old male diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma who refused liver transplantation and underwent multiple conventional treatments, including Drug-eluting Bead trans-arterial chemoembolization (DEB TACE), targeted therapy, and radiation therapy. However, due to adverse effects and suspected disease progression, the patient opted to switch to Ayurvedic management. ,It incorporated Ayurvedic formulations, like suvarnamalinivasanta, phalatrikadiguggulu, patola, bhumyamalaki, and bhringaraja to support liver function, enhance immune response, and mitigate tumor progression. Over the course of treatment, the patient demonstrated improvements in clinical and biochemical parameters, including a reductions in alpha-fetoprotein and bilirubin levels, clinically improved liver function, enhanced physical strength, and better quality of life. Radiological assessments indicated disease stabilization with no significant metabolic activity. The case highlights the potential of an integrative approach to improve patient outcomes, particularly in those who decline or are unfit for liver transplantation.
