Complications in hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy: retrospective comparison of catheter tip placement in the right/left hepatic artery vs. the gastroduodenal artery.
Article in Surgery today, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeTo compare the complication rates associated with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using two different catheter tip locations, the right/left hepatic artery (group 1) and the gastroduodenal artery (group 2).
methodsBetween April 2001 and March 2015, 88 patients (group 1, n = 36; group 2, n = 52) with unresectable HCC, underwent HAIC via a transfemorally placed infusion catheter. The incidence of complications related to catheter placement (including hepatic arterial occlusion, catheter dislocation, non-target embolization and port-catheter system infection) as well as catheter patency and patient survival were evaluated.
resultsThe technical success rate was 100%. The overall complication rate was 17% (15/88 patients). The specific complications were as follows: hepatic artery occlusion, n = 1 (group 2, n = 1), gastroduodenal ulcer, n = 6 (group 1, n = 2; group 2, n = 4); catheter dislocation, n = 1 (group 2, n = 1); port-catheter system infection, n = 3 (group 2, n = 3); and bleeding at the puncture site, n = 4 (group 1, n = 1; group 2, n = 3).
conclusionsThe complication rates in groups 1 and 2 did not differ to a statistically significant extent.
