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

In this article, we review two liver-directed therapies that are currently used for the palliative treatment of primary and secondary hepatic malignancies, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), including a new type of TACE with drug-eluting beads, and radioembolization. Important developments and administration techniques for all therapies are discussed, as well as their integration into the current routine clinical care for management of metastatic colorectal cancer. According to published data from clinical trials, as presented in this review, both radioembolization and TACE/TACE with drug-eluting beads have been proven to be safe and effective in selected patients with chemorefractory liver metastases from colorectal cancer. For patients with unresectable liver-only or liver-dominant disease who have failed standard chemotherapy options or for whom chemotherapy is contraindicated, new modalities, such as those discussed, are particularly valid and promising if clinical guidelines for patient selection and treatment administration are followed.
