Immune cell dynamics and the impact on the efficiency of transvascular antitumor interventional therapies in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
Observational study in Frontiers in immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: This study investigates the impact of transvascular antitumor interventional therapies on immune cell dynamics and its correlation with disease control and progression-free survival (PFS) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Methods: A single-center observational case-control study was conducted with 119 HCC patients. Transvascular antitumor interventional therapy were administered based on patient-specific evaluations. Peripheral blood samples were collected before and within 28 days after the first treatment to analyze lymphocyte subsets and other immune cells. Results: Higher counts of total white blood cells (WBCs), lymphocytes, monocytes, and basophils were significantly associated with disease control rate. Subgroup analysis revealed that abnormal BMI, diabetes, infection, and multiple lesions were significantly associated with T cell abnormalities. Age, abnormal BMI, hypertension, and abnormal AFP were linked to total T cell abnormalities. NK cells, B cells, Th cells, Tc/Ts cells, and CD4/CD8 ratios did not show significant differences in PFS probabilities. Conclusion: Higher counts of WBCs, lymphocytes, monocytes, and basophils, play a crucial role in the effectiveness of HCC interventional therapy.
