Iodine-125 seeds insertion with trans-arterial chemical infusion for advanced lung cancer: a meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of contemporary brachytherapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Purpose: Local treatments, including iodine-125 ( Material and methods: This meta-analysis was performed according to preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. Relevant studies were searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINK, Wanfang, and VIP (until October 2021) databases, using the following key words: (((((Iodine-125) OR (I125)) OR (125I)) OR (brachytherapy)) AND ((lung cancer) OR (NSCLC))) AND (chemotherapy). Outcomes included complete response rate (CRR), treatment success rate (TSR), disease control rate (DCR), 1-year survival rate, 2-year survival rate, overall survival (OS), and treatment-related toxicity. RevMan v. 5.3 and Stata v. 12.0 were applied for meta-analysis. Results: Eight studies were included in the evaluation. Three hundred and seventy-seven patients underwent combined TAI and ISI treatment (combined group), while 397 patients underwent TAI alone (TAI alone group). The pooled CRR ( Conclusions: ISI can enhance TAI clinical efficacy in clinical cases of advanced LC, excluding severe adverse events.
