Antenna Designs for Microwave Tissue Ablation.
Review in Critical reviews in biomedical engineering, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Microwave (MW) ablation has emerged as a minimally invasive therapeutic modality and is in clinical use for treatment of unresectable tumors and cardiac arrhythmias, neuromodulation, endometrial ablation, and other applications. Components of image-guided MW ablation systems include high-power MW sources, ablation applicators that deliver power from the generator to the target tissue, cooling systems, energy-delivery control algorithms, and imaging guidance systems tailored to specific clinical indications. The applicator incorporates a MW antenna that radiates MW power into the surrounding tissue. A variety of antenna designs have been developed for MW ablation with the objective of efficiently transferring MW power to tissue, with a radiation pattern well matched to the size and shape of the targeted tissue. Here, we survey advances in percutaneous, endocavitary, and endoscopic antenna designs as an integral element of MW ablation applicators for a diverse set of clinical applications.
