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

Inadequate volume of the future liver remnant (FLR) renders many patients with liver malignancies not amenable to surgical resection. Depending on the health of the liver and the patient in general, an FLR of 25-40% is required to avoid acute post-hepatectomy liver failure. Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) of a diseased liver lobe leads to atrophy of the embolized lobe and compensatory hypertrophy of the contralateral lobe. Although the absolute degree of FLR hypertrophy seems to be comparable to portal vein embolization, the kinetic of hypertrophy is much slower after radioembolization. However, TARE has the unique advantages of simultaneously offering local tumor control, possibly downstaging disease, and providing biological test of time. Progressions in technique and personalized dosimetry allow for more predictable ablative treatment of liver malignancies and preparation for major liver surgery. This article provides an overview of the existing literature, discusses the evidence, and considers possible criteria for patient selection.
