Thermal Ablation Induces Transitory Metastatic Growth by Means of the STAT3/c-Met Molecular Pathway in an Intrahepatic Colorectal Cancer Mouse Model.
Article in Radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Background Systemic protumorigenic effects have been noted after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of normal liver and have been linked to an interleukin 6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)/hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/tyrosine-protein kinase Met (c-Met)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) cytokinetic pathway. Purpose To elucidate kinetics of RFA protumorigenic effects on intrahepatic metastatic implantation and growth and determine potential molecular targets for pharmacologic suppression of these effects. Materials and Methods An intrahepatic metastasis model was established by implanting CT26 and MC38 tumor cells into 216 7-8-week-old male Balb/C and C57BL6 mice, respectively, by means of splenic injection. Between June 2017 and March 2019, mice underwent tumor injection, followed 24 hours later by either standardized RFA (70°C ± 1, 5 minutes, 1-cm tip) or a sham procedure (needle placement without heating) (12 animals per arm,
