Clinical Outcome of CT-Guided Iodine-125 Radioactive Seed Implantation for Intrahepatic Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Retrospective, Multicenter Study.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. 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
The efficacy and safety of CT-Guided Iodine-125 Radioactive Seed Implantation (RSI) for the treatment of intrahepatic recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (rHCC) were analyzed in this multicenter retrospective study. We reviewed the medical records of patients with rHCC treated with I-125 seed implantation at four different hospitals in China from December 2011 and January 2021. The local progression-free survival (LPFS),liver PFS, and overall survival (OS) were calculated, and the short-term efficacy and treatment-related toxicities were evaluated. A total of 82 patients were enrolled; the median follow-up time was 46 months (range, 3-80 months). The 1-, 3- and 5-year LPFS rates were 63.8%, 27.1%, and 7.9%, respectively, and the corresponding OS rates were 74.8%, 32.9%, and 12.6%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that factors influencing LPFS included the maximum lesion diameter, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage, interval between treatment and recurrence, and D90. Multivariate analyses revealed that the BCLC stage, interval between treatment and recurrence, and D90 were independent factors influencing LPFS, whereas BCLC stage, D90, and short-term efficacy were independent factors influencing OS. In summary, I-125 seed implantation is a safe and effective treatment for rHCC. The BCLC stage, interval, and D90 were found to influence the local control. A larger, prospective study is required to confirm the dose-response curve for Iodine-125 RSI of rHCC.
