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

As an emerging minimally invasive treatment method, percutaneous ablation is more and more widely used in the treatment of liver tumors. It has been recommended by guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as a curative treatment alongside surgical resection and liver transplantation. In recent years, with the continuous advancement and innovation of percutaneous ablation technologies, their clinical efficacy and safety have been significantly improved, which has led to the expanded application of percutaneous ablation in the treatment of HCC-more and more patients who were previously considered unsuitable for ablation therapies are now being treated with percutaneous ablation. Obviously, percutaneous ablation can reduce the risk of treatment changes from curative strategies to palliative strategies. Based on clinical practice experience, this review enumerates the advantages and disadvantages of different ablative modalities and summarizes the existing combinations of ablation techniques, thus will help clinicians choose the most appropriate ablative modality for each patient and will provide scientific guidance for improving prognosis and making evidence-based treatment decisions. In addition, we point out the challenges and future prospects of the ablation therapies, thereby providing direction for future research.
