Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization with Drug-Eluting Beads for the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Recommended Selection for Small-Caliber (<100 μm) Beads.
Review in Journal of hepatocellular carcinoma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) is an alternative to conventional lipiodol-based TACE (cTACE) to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). With the advancement in pharmacology, small-caliber DEB-TACE (<100 μm) has been introduced since 2016. For the treatment of hepatic neoplasms or HCC, there is a tendency to use smaller beads by DEB-TACE to achieve more extensive tumor necrosis and a significant reduction in liver toxicity in comparison with that caused by cTACE. However, the indications and potential complications of small-caliber DEB-TACE remain uncertain and have not been well established, due to lack of randomized phase III clinical trials. Instead of systematic or meta-analysis review, this narrative review article describes the suggested indications and contraindications of DEB-TACE with small DEBs, benefit of super-selective embolization of the feeding arteries and the recommended selection of small-caliber DEB. This review was approved by the institutional review board (File Number: 1-105-05-158).
