Clinical intervention effect of TACE combined with 3DCRT in patients with primary liver cancer.

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
objectiveTo investigate the clinical intervention effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) in patients with primary liver cancer (PLC).
methodsA total of 110 PLC patients admitted to our hospital were selected and divided into the study group (SG, n=60, treated with TACE combined with 3DCRT) and the control group (CG, n=50, treated with TACE alone) in accordance with the different clinical intervention measures. The clinical intervention effect and the changes of tumor factors and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups before and after intervention, and the three-year survival and the incidence of adverse reactions were evaluated.
resultsThe objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) in the SG (78.33% and 95.00%) were higher than those in the CG (38.00% and 80.00%), whereas the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) levels in the SG were lower than those in the CG (
conclusionTACE combined with 3DCRT has a high safety and leads to remarkable clinical intervention effects, marked improvement of the serological indices, better quality of life, as well as satisfactory long-term survival.
