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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) management has evolved remarkably with the advent of diverse therapeutic options, particularly systemic and surgical treatments. Combination immunotherapy has redefined the treatment paradigm for advanced HCC and contributed to improved patient outcomes. However, this brings forth challenges such as immune-related adverse events that complicate decision-making. Surgical strategies have expanded with the emergence of conversion therapy and borderline resectability, offering curative potential for a broader patient population. However, robust evidence of their long-term efficacy is lacking. Therefore, decision-making biomarkers have gained prominence across treatment modalities. This review explores the current landscape of predictive, prognostic, and treatment-response biomarkers in HCC, from molecular and immune signatures to radiological and biochemical markers, highlighting their role in optimizing therapeutic strategies. By integrating recent advances in basic and translational research with clinical practice, we aim to outline a biomarker-driven framework for individualized care in HCC.
