New horizons in ablation therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Review in Hepatic oncology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Historically ablative treatment for hepatocellular cancer (HCC) has been regarded as inferior to transplantation and resection and has therefore been reserved for patients not suitable for surgical intervention in stage 0-A HCC according to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer classification system. In the wake of surgical strategies challenging the current Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer treatment guidelines and improvements in imaging, targeting and ablation technologies, ablation is likely to occupy a more central role in the management of patients with HCC, challenging its historically perceived inferiority to resection.
