Transarterial embolization for renal angiomyolipomas: A single centre experience in 79 patients.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Objective To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of selective arterial embolization (SAE) in the treatment of renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs). Methods This was a retrospective review of medical records and imaging findings from patients with renal AMLs who attended our clinic and received SAE between January 2007 and January 2014. Only patents with complete medical records, preoperative computed tomography scans using typical imaging and follow-up data were included. Results A total of 79 patients were enrolled in the study. Technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 91% ( n = 72), respectively. Only two patients experienced major complications. Post-embolization syndrome (i.e. fever, abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting) was reported in 68 (86%) patients, but all symptoms were mild and resolved with conservative measures. Mean radiological and clinical follow-up periods were 16.8 and 35.9 months, respectively. In 75 (95%) patients, tumours decreased in size; mean ± SD tumour size significantly decreased from 8.4 ± 3.5 cm pre-embolization to 6.7 ± 3.0 cm post-embolization . Conclusions This study provides long-term evidence that SAE is a safe and effective method in the treatment of patients with renal AMLs.
