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

Liver tumors, both primary and secondary to metastatic disease, remain a major challenge, with an increasing incidence. In this context, taking advantage of the dual blood supply of the liver, and the fact that liver tumors derive majority of their blood supply from the hepatic artery, intraarterial therapies are gaining popularity. Intraarterial liver-directed therapy (IALDT) is the option when the surgery is not feasible due to the number of metastases or for other reasons. Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is a specific type of IALDT, where a carrier particle/microsphere is labeled with a radioactive substance and then is injected into hepatic artery for therapeutic purposes. As this field is rapidly evolving, with multiple agents being investigated and being introduced into clinical practice, it is hard for the practitioners and researchers to encompass all the available information concisely. This article aims to present a comprehensive review of the prominent TARE technologies.
