Intrahepatic biloma following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: Incidence, imaging features and management.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Repeat transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) becomes more challenging for patients with intrahepatic biloma following TACE for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical course, incidence, imaging features and outcome and to explore the reasonable therapy scheme for intrahepatic biloma following TACE for HCC.A total of 4,695 TACE procedures were performed for 1,923 patients with HCC. Twenty patients with intrahepatic biloma following TACE were studied retrospectively. The incidence of intrahepatic biloma was 1.04% in this study. The 20 patients underwent 55 TACE procedures (mean, 2.75). Portal vein invasion was found in half of the patients. Eleven patients developed round solitary or multiple cystic biloma, 6 patients had branched biloma and 3 patients developed both cystic and branched biloma. Percutaneous drainage was applied for 4 patients. One patient underwent partial hepatectomy and one mortality occurred due to progressive biloma and multiple organ failure. Although severe intrahepatic biloma following TACE is rare, the procedure should be performed with caution. Timely and appropriate management, including percutaneous drainage, partial hepatectomy and antibiotic administration should be performed in the case of any signs of infection.
