Role of combined embolization and ablation in management of renal masses.
Review in Seminars in interventional radiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Combination of minimally invasive treatment modalities is being increasingly utilized to improve local tumor control and overall survival. In the liver, the combination of embolization and ablation results in equivalent overall survival and intrahepatic disease progression as surgical resection for lesions smaller than 7 cm. Ablation alone for small renal masses up to 4 cm results in excellent local tumor control and lack of residual enhancement to suggest viable tumor. A small number of studies have been performed combining embolization and ablation, which result in high rates of local tumor control for tumors smaller than 5 cm. Based on this small cohort, combined embolization and ablation may be most indicated for central or mixed tumors where ablation alone suffers from the greatest degree of "heat sink" effect. This article reviews the theory, methods, and outcomes of combining percutaneous ablative and embolic modalities in the treatment of renal masses.
