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

The rapid evolution and increasing complexity of liver-directed therapies has forced the medical community to further advance its understanding of hepatic arterial anatomy. The anatomy of the mesenteric system, and particularly the hepatic arterial bed, has been demonstrated to have a high degree of variation. This is important when considering presurgical planning, catheterization, and transarterial hepatic therapies. Although anatomic variants have been well described, the characterization and understanding of regional hepatic perfusion is also required to optimize endovascular therapy and intervention. Although this is true for patients undergoing bland embolization or chemoembolization, drug delivery, and hepatic infusional pump therapy, it is particularly true for intraarterial brachytherapy. The purpose of this review is to provide historical perspective in angiographic aspects of liver-directed therapy, as well as a discussion of normal vascular anatomy, commonly encountered variants, and factors involved in changes to regional perfusion in the presence of liver tumors. Methods of optimizing the safety and efficacy of liver-directed therapies with use of percutaneous techniques will be discussed. This review is based on the experience gained in treating more than 500 patients with transarterial liver-directed therapies. Although the principles described in this article apply to all liver-directed therapies such as chemoembolization and administration of drug-coated microspheres, they apply particularly to intraarterial brachytherapy.
