Utility of 'dual phase' cone beam computed tomography during radioembolisation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: what is really changing in flow dynamics before and after
Article in Polish journal of radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe aims of the study were: 1) to compare two phases of dual-phase cone beam computed tomography (DP-CBCT) achieved before and after Yttrium-90 ( MATERIAL AND
methodsTwenty-three hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing RE treatment were scanned with DP-CBCT consisting of early arterial (EA) and late arterial (LA) phases before and after
resultsFor 23 patients 92 data were acquired. Thirteen patients showed a decrease on post-embolisation images both visually and on Hounsfield unit (HU) measurements. No statistical difference was found for tumour detection between EA and LA phases (
conclusionsDP-CBCT is a promising tool for predicting tumour response to therapy and is not inferior to preprocedural cross-sectional imaging in terms of tumour detection. It allows better assessment during RE procedures because early phases provide good mapping for superselective catheterisation whereas late phases are better for visualisation of tumour enhancement.
