Does primary tumor location impact the prognosis of colorectal liver metastases patients after microwave ablation? - Lessons from 10 years' experience.
Review in Oncotarget, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Thermal ablation has been considered as an alternative for local curative intent in patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases. The influence of primary tumor location on the prognosis of colorectal liver metastases patients who have undergone microwave ablation has yet to be determined. We reviewed 295 patients who underwent microwave ablation for colorectal liver metastases at our institution between March 2006 and March 2016. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of overall and progression-free survival. Technical success was achieved in 96.6% of patients (
