Visceral Adipose Tissue Radiodensity Is Linked to Prognosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients Treated with Selective Internal Radiation Therapy.
Article in Cancers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) constitutes the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Various factors, such as tumor size, tumor multiplicity, and liver function, have been linked to the prognosis of HCC. The aim of this study was to explore the prognostic significance of muscle, subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass, and radiodensity, in a cohort of 101 HCC patients treated with selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT).
