A successful treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma with Osler-Rendu-Weber disease using radiofrequency ablation under laparoscopy.

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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can be difficult to diagnose and treat in patients with Osler-Rendu-Weber disease due to vascular malformation and regenerative nodular hyperplasia. In addition, percutaneous liver puncture should be avoided for the diagnosis and treatment as the procedure carries a high risk of bleeding. We herein report the successful treatment of HCC in a patient with Osler-Rendu-Weber disease using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) under laparoscopy. A 71-year-old man with Osler-Rendu-Weber disease was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of HCC. He also had chronic hepatitis C virus infection. The arterioportal shunts in the liver were detected by computed tomography (CT) and angiography. A tumor 20 mm in size was detected as a defected-lesion in the hepatic segment IV during the portal phase by CT. RFA under laparoscopy was performed for the curative treatment for HCC, with sufficient ablation obtained. Although the blood gushed out from the needle tract at the end of the procedure, complete hemostasis was achieved promptly using coagulation forceps. The post-operative course was favorable. Thus, laparoscopic RFA is a useful treatment modality for HCC in patients with Osler-Rendu-Weber disease, as a hemostasis device can be used with direct visualization.
