3D voxel-based dosimetry to predict contralateral hypertrophy and an adequate future liver remnant after lobar radioembolization.
Article in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionVolume changes induced by selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) may increase the possibility of tumor resection in patients with insufficient future liver remnant (FLR). The aim was to identify dosimetric and clinical parameters associated with contralateral hepatic hypertrophy after lobar/extended lobar SIRT with MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients underwent
resultsFifty-six patients were studied; most had primary liver tumors (71.4%), 40.4% had cirrhosis, and 39.3% had been previously treated with chemotherapy. FLR in patients with T0-FLR < 30% increased progressively (T0: 25.2%; T1: 32.7%; T2: 38.1%; T3: 44.7%). No dosimetric parameter predicted atrophy. Both NTL-Dmean and NTL-V30 (fraction of NTL exposed to ≥ 30 Gy) were predictive of increase in FLR in patients with T0 FLR < 30%, the latter also in the total cohort of patients. Hypertrophy was not significantly associated with tumor dose or tumor size. When ≥ 49% of NTL received ≥ 30 Gy, FLR increased to ≥ 40% (accuracy: 76.4% in all patients and 80.95% in T0-FLR < 30% patients).
conclusionNTL-Dmean and NTL exposed to ≥ 30 Gy (NTL-V30) were most significantly associated with increase in FLR (particularly among patients with T0-FLR < 30%). When half of NTL received ≥ 30 Gy, FLR increased to ≥ 40%, with higher accuracy among patients with T0-FLR < 30%.
