The effect of lipiodol deposition in HCC after TACE on the necrosis range of PMCT.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveTo study the impact of lipiodol deposition in the lesion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) on the necrosis area of percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT). MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 44 patients with HCC with 56 nodules, with a size ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 cm, was selected in our study. About 23 patients (26 nodules) underwent PMCT treatment only as Group A and 21 patients (30 nodules) were treated by PMCT-combined TACE as Group B. All patients underwent PMCT with single-electrode and one-point ablation. Paired
resultsAll patients underwent PMCT or PMCT combined with TACE successfully. The tumor and necrosis size of Group A was 16.29±19.23 cm
conclusionPMCT combined with TACE could enlarge the ablation area, but will not lead to an ideal necrosis area than the PMCT alone. The lipiodol deposition in the tumor lesion may hinder the expansion of the heating field. Therefore, further research was needed.
