The clinical effects of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation in the treatment of primary hepatic carcinoma: Protocol for a retrospective clinical observation.
Article in Medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
instructionDespite the continuous advancement of liver cancer diagnosis technology and level, there are still nearly two-thirds of patients with primary liver cancer that are already advanced at the time of diagnosis. Ultrasound-guided microwave ablation, as a palliative treatment for intermediate and advanced liver cancer, is currently recognized internationally Standard treatment for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. However, recently, some scholars hold that ultrasound-guided microwave ablation does not guarantee complete inactivation of tumor lesions. METHODS/
designThis study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma through retrospective analysis. This study will follow a clinical research method with consecutive enrollment. The overall survival rate, objective tumor remission rate, serum indices and incidence of adverse effects after treatment will be counted for patients. DISCUSSION: At present, there are no good treatment options for intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore, there is a strong demand to explore the individualized multidisciplinary combined treatment model based on ultrasound-guided microwave ablation.
