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.

Abstract

purposeThis analysis of the CIRSE Registry for SIR-Spheres Therapy in France, CIRT-FR, reports on real-world outcomes of transarterial radioembolisation (TARE) with Y90 resin microspheres for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) patients in France, focusing on safety, effectiveness and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Results on patients treated based on national reimbursement criteria are discussed here.

methodsProspective, multicentre, observational study of HCC and CRLM patients treated between August 2017 and July 2020 with TARE Y90 resin microspheres. Patients were assigned to different analysis groups based on reimbursement recommendations. Follow-up period was at least 24 months with patient data collected every 3 months.

resultsIn total, 252 (193 HCC, 59 CRLM) patients of CIRT-FR were included in the analysis. No differences in effectiveness, safety and HRQoL were found between analysis groups based on reimbursement recommendations. Median overall survival for HCC and CRLM was 19.0 (95% CI, 16.1-22.4) and 10.8 (95% CI, 8.0-13.5) months, respectively. Serious procedure-related adverse events occurred in 13% of the patients. HRQoL generally remained stable, with some fluctuations in function scores and symptoms.

conclusionIn our cohorts, patients performed similarly regarding clinical outcomes irrespective of their analysis group based on reimbursement recommendations. Our results suggest that instead of restrictive reimbursement criteria, more decision-making power in selecting suitable patient groups could be given to multidisciplinary tumour boards. Results confirm that TARE with Y90 resin microspheres is an effective and safe treatment for liver cancer, with maintained HRQoL in most patients.
