Safety and Efficacy of Arterially Directed Liver Therapies in the Treatment of Hepatic Metastatic Ovarian Cancer: A Retrospective Single-Institution Study.
Article in Journal of vascular and interventional radiology : JVIR, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 locoregional therapies (LRTs) including hepatic artery embolization (HAE) and transarterial radioembolization (TARE) in the treatment of patients with metastatic ovarian cancer to the liver. MATERIAL AND
methodsFrom October 2010 to May 2019, the data of 15 consecutive patients (median age, 54 years ± 9.8; range, 35-78 years) with hepatic metastatic ovarian cancer who were treated with either HAE (n = 6; 40%) or TARE (n = 9; 60%) were reviewed. The most common histopathologic type was epithelial ovarian carcinoma (80%). The most common chemotherapy regimens used prior to embolization included carboplatin, paclitaxel, cisplatin, and bevacizumab. Patients received a mean of 4 lines ± 3 (range, 1-9) of chemotherapy. All patients with serous carcinoma were resistant to platinum at the time of embolization. Indications for embolization were progression of disease to the liver while receiving chemotherapy in 14 (93.3%) patients and palliative pain control in 1 patient.
resultsThe overall response rates at 1, 3, and 6 months were 92.4%, 85.6%, and 70%, respectively. Median overall survival from the time of LRT was 9 (95% confidence interval [CI], 4-14) months. Median local tumor progression was 6.4 months ± 5.03 (95% CI, 3.3-9.5). No grade 3-5 adverse events were detected in either group.
conclusionsHAE and TARE were well tolerated in patients with metastatic ovarian cancer to the liver and possibly ensured prolonged disease control in heavily treated, predominantly in patients resistant to platinum. Larger numbers are needed to verify these data.
