Drug-eluting beads bronchial arterial chemoembolization plus intercostals arterial infusion chemotherapy is effective and well-tolerated in treating non-small cell lung cancer patients with refractory malignant pleural effusion.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of drug-eluting beads bronchial arterial chemoembolization (DEB-BACE) plus intercostals arterial infusion chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with refractory malignant pleural effusion (MPE).
methods17 NSCLC patients with refractory MPE treated by DEB-BACE plus the intercostals arterial infusion chemotherapy (DEB-BACE group) were recruited. Their treatment response [complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), overall efficacy, failure] for MPE was assessed at 1 month after therapy; adverse effects were recorded; MPE progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) were calculated. Moreover, 19 NSCLC patients with refractory MPE treated by conventional chemotherapy were reviewed as control (chemotherapy group), then their medical records were collected.
resultsWith respect to MPE response, DEB-BACE group exhibited increased CR (82.4%
conclusionsDEB-BACE plus intercostals arterial infusion chemotherapy could serve as a salvage treatment option for NSCLC patients with refractory MPE.
