Treatment of Primary Liver Tumors and Liver Metastases, Part 2: Non-Nuclear Medicine Techniques.
Review in Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Image-guided procedures are used worldwide in the management of primary liver tumors and liver metastases. These locoregional therapies include local tumor ablation and transarterial therapies and can occasionally downstage an inoperable patient to an operable status. In hepatocellular carcinoma, data have suggested that for tumors smaller than 2 cm ablation may be preferable to surgery. Similar results are emerging for colorectal cancer liver metastases. Catheter-directed therapies such as bland embolization, transarterial chemoembolization, and drug-eluting beads represent potential techniques that can provide survival benefit for inoperable patients. In this review we highlight the most used techniques and the evidence supporting their current indications for the treatment of liver tumors. We briefly review upcoming developments in combination strategies with temperature-sensitive liposomes or immunotherapy for enhancing ablation efficacy.
