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
Background: Patients with different primary tumor oligometastases can obtain survival benefits from external radiotherapy. The study was conducted to explore the efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus iodine 125 seed (TACE-I) implantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) oligometastases. Methods: 187 patients who received TACE-I in our institution were retrospectively reviewed from January 2014 to December 2018. Thirty-two patients were included in the analysis. The primary endpoints of the study were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints of the study were tumor response and PFS of the metastatic sites. Results: The median OS (mOS) of patients was 18 months, and the median PFS (mPFS) was 7 months. The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) of patients three months after receiving TACE-I were 34.4% and 71.9%, respectively. The ORR and DCR of patients for metastatic sites were 50% and 81.3%, respectively. The mPFS of patients for metastatic sites was 14 months. The univariable and multivariable regression analyses indicated that the ECOG score was an independent predictor for mOS and mPFS. The number of iodine seeds and ECOG scores were independent predictors for mPFS for metastatic sites. After patients received TACE-I, the most common adverse events were abdominal pain, fever, and appetite. The adverse events of patients were relieved after receiving symptomatic treatments. Conclusion: Iodine 125 seed implantation may be an effective and safe treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with oligometastasis, thereby providing a new selective option for these patients.
