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

Catheter-based ultrasound (CBUS) is applied to deliver minimally invasive thermal therapy to solid cancer tumours, benign tissue growth, vascular disease, and tissue remodelling. Compared to other energy modalities used in catheter-based surgical interventions, unique features of ultrasound result in conformable and precise energy delivery with high selectivity, fast treatment times, and larger treatment volumes. We present a concise review of CBUS technology being currently utilized in animal and clinical studies or being developed for future applications. CBUS devices have been categorised into interstitial, endoluminal and endovascular/cardiac applications. Basic applicator designs, site-specific evaluations and possible treatment applications have been discussed in brief. Particular emphasis has been given to ablation studies that incorporate image guidance for applicator placement, therapy monitoring, feedback control, and post-procedure assessment. Examples of devices included here span the entire spectrum of the development cycle from preliminary simulation-based design studies to implementation in clinical investigations. The use of CBUS under image guidance has the potential for significantly improving precision and applicability of thermal therapy delivery.
