Evolution of surgical microwave ablation for the treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastasis: review of the literature and a single centre experience.
Review in Surgery today, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Surgical resection is the gold standard treatment for colorectal liver metastasis, with reported five-year survival rates of 40 %. Unfortunately, despite progress in systemic therapies and surgical techniques, only 20-30 % of patients can be offered this potentially curative treatment modality. Ablative therapies have recently been suggested to treat unresectable lesions or to extend the margins of resectability. Additionally, cases of local recurrence after hepatic surgery might require alternative strategies and options for re-intervention. Microwave ablation (MWA) has recently become a matter of particular interest for such indications. We, herein, present a review of the literature published between January 1999 and June 2013 from a database search with the following keywords: microwave, ablation, liver metastases, colorectal neoplasm, resection, hepatectomy, colonic neoplasm, cancer. Furthermore, we provide insight based on our own data for 28 consecutive patients who underwent hepatic resection combined with MWA from 2005 to 2012 in a single centre.
