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

Interventional radiology plays a major role in the modern management of liver cancers, in primary hepatic malignancies or metastases and in palliative or curative situations. Radiological treatments are divided in two categories based on their approach: endovascular treatment and direct transcapsular access. Endovascular treatments include mainly three applications: transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), transarterial radioembolization (TARE) and portal vein embolization (PVE). TACE and TARE share an endovascular arterial approach, consisting of a selective catheterization of the hepatic artery or its branches. Subsequently, either a chemotherapy (TACE) or radioembolic (TARE) agent is injected in the target vessel to act on the tumor. PVE raises the volume of the future liver remnant in extended hepatectomy by embolizing a portal vein territory which results in hepatic regeneration. Direct transcapsular access treatments involve mainly three techniques: radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFA), microwave thermal ablation (MWA) and percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI). RFA and MWA procedures are almost identical, their clinical applications are similar. A probe is deployed directly into the tumor to generate heat and coagulation necrosis. PEI has known implications based on the chemical toxicity of intra-tumoral injection with highly concentrated alcohol by a thin needle.
