First Report of a Late Lethal Pulmonary Biliary Embolism following Hepatic Microwave Ablation.
Article in Visceral medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Microwave ablation (MWA) is an established tool in modern therapy of hepatic malignomas. Although it is generally a safe procedure, severe complications related to MWA have been reported in the literature. We report on the first case of a fatal pulmonary biliary embolism following hepatic MWA. The development of pulmonary biliary embolisms is possible and should be considered particularly in the case of by extensive ablation near liver veins.
