Following Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Version: 0 Date: 27 Jun 2024
Reviewer:  Chenxi Yu
Reviewer's report:
1. Some of the references cited are outdated; it is suggested to update the references.
2. The symptoms of postembolization syndrome include fatigue, anorexia, fever, nausea,
vomiting, and pain. However, the article only analyzes fever, nausea, vomiting, and pain. The
discussion mentions evidence of dexamethasone improving nausea and vomiting, but it does not
elaborate on the potential mechanisms by which dexamethasone may improve fever and pain.
It is recommended to supplement the relevant content.
3. The statement "p=0.00" in the article is inaccurate; it is suggested to revise it to "p < 0.001".
