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

Embolic agents used in transarterial embolization for intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma reduce blood flow into tumors and can deliver anticancer drugs. Tumor blood supply can be interrupted using doxorubicin-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) or non-loaded beads (TAE) of different calibers. In this preclinical study, we characterized the extent of remaining stressed tumor cells after treatment, hypoxia within the surviving tumor regions, and inflammatory immune cell infiltrates after embolization with 40-60 or 70-150 μm with non-loaded or doxorubicin-loaded beads at 3 and 7 days after treatment. TAE-treated tumors had more stressed and surviving tumor cells after 3 days, irrespective of bead size, compared with DEB-TACE-treated tumors. Hypoxic stress of residual cells increased after treatment with 70-150 μm beads without or with doxorubicin. Treatment with DEB-TACE of 70-150 μm resulted in increased inflammation and proliferation in the adjacent parenchyma. Inflammatory cell infiltrates were reduced at the periphery of tumors treated with 40-60 μm DEB-TACE.
