Case Report: Complete Necrosis of a Large Adrenocortical Cancer and Liver Metastases Achieved by Selective Arterial Embolization: A Case Study and Review of Literature.
Review in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
There is very limited experience regarding the interventional radiological treatment of adrenocortical cancer (ACC). We present the case of a 57-year-old female patient with a large, potentially unresectable left-sided ACC and two hepatic metastases. Both liver tumors were effectively treated by trans-arterial embolization (TAE), followed by TAE of the bulky primary tumor as a life-saving intervention necessitated by severe intratumoral bleeding. Surgical removal of the primary tumor revealed complete necrosis. The patient is considered tumor free after 3.5 years. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to show that even a primary ACC may be completely ablated by selective embolization, and the fourth to prove the curative potential of liver TAE for ACC metastases. This case highlights the potential of selective embolization in ACC treatment.
