Changing epidemiology and etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma in Europe: implications for clinical practice and health policy.
Review in The Lancet regional health. Europe, 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
Primary liver cancer, of which hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the vast majority, is on the rise globally. Despite an expected decrease in viral hepatitis-related HCCs, the number of new cases and deaths from liver cancer is predicted to increase by over 30% in 2050 in Europe. This is largely driven by an increase in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease-related HCC and an aging population. Since HCC usually develops in patients with underlying chronic liver disease, over half of all cases appear to be preventable by targeting modifiable risk factors. This series paper summarizes epidemiological and etiological trends of HCC in Europe and their implications for the clinical management of HCC across different disease stages. We discuss public health initiatives and policies to counteract the rising incidence of HCC by focusing on prevention, and highlight additional benefits of etiological treatment for the management and prognosis of patients with HCC.
