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

Irreversible electroporation causes cell death through low frequency, high voltage electrical pulses and is increasingly used to treat non-resectable cancers. A recent systematic review revealed that tissue damage through irreversible electroporation is time-dependent, but the impact of time on the ablation zone size remains unknown. Irreversible electroporation ablations were performed hourly during 24 consecutive hours in the peripheral liver of 2 anaesthetized domestic pigs using clinical treatment settings. Immediately after the 24th ablation, the livers were harvested and examined for tissue response in time based on macroscopic and microscopic pathology. The impact of time on these outcomes was assessed with Spearman rank correlation test. Ablation zones were sharply demarcated as early as 1 hour after treatment. During 24 hours, the ablation zones showed a significant increase in diameter (rs = 0.493,
