1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The rising incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in recent decades necessitates careful consideration of additional treatment options, especially for patients who may be poor surgical candidates. An emerging body of evidence suggests that ablation may be performed effectively and safely even in patients with multiple comorbidities. Accordingly, clinical guidelines now include thermal ablation as an alternative for such patients with localized tumors that are 4.0 cm or smaller. Recent experience with these minimally invasive techniques has led to a greater understanding of the imaging findings that merit close attention when ablation is anticipated, or after it is performed. These imaging findings may guide the interventionalist's perception of the risks, technical challenges, and likelihood of treatment success associated with RCC ablation. The present review provides an overview of clinically relevant radiologic findings during the preprocedural, intraprocedural, and postprocedural period in the context of image-guided renal ablation.
