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

Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Atez/Bev) is the standard first-line systemic therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We report HCC with intrahepatic progression during Atez/Bev in which selective conventional transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE) to a single lesion was followed by non-target lesion shrinkage. An 82-year-old woman with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease was diagnosed with BCLC stage B hepatocellular carcinoma in segments 5/7. After TACE, residual viable tumor persisted in segment 5, and Atez/Bev was initiated. After 4 cycles, a new intrahepatic lesion appeared in segment 8, and after 7 cycles, lesions in segments 5/7/8 enlarged, meeting the mRECIST progressive disease criteria. Systemic therapy continued, and selective cTACE for the segment 5 lesion was added. At 3 months post-cTACE, segment 5 viability decreased, but overall mRECIST remained progressive disease. At 6 months (November 20XX + 1), arterial enhancement in segment 5 resolved and non-target segment 7/8 lesions became hypovascular and shrank, achieving partial response.
