Percutaneous Thermal Ablation for Managing Small Renal Metastatic Tumors.

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: To retrospectively evaluate the treatment outcomes of thermal ablation for renal metastatic tumors. Materials and Methods: Thirteen consecutive patients with small renal metastatic tumors (≤3 cm), who underwent thermal ablation between 2009 and 2020, were included in this study. Eight patients had extra-renal tumors during renal ablation. The primary tumors were adenoid cystic carcinoma in four patients, lung cancer in three, hemangiopericytoma in three, leiomyosarcoma in two, and thyroid cancer in one. The therapeutic effects, safety, survival rate, prognostic factor, and renal function were evaluated. Results: We performed 18 ablation sessions (cryoablation, n = 13; radiofrequency ablation, n = 5) on 19 renal metastases with a mean diameter of 1.7 cm, which resulted in a primary technique efficacy rate of 100% without procedure-related deaths or major complications. Renal function significantly declined 6 months after ablation ( Conclusions: Percutaneous thermal ablation for small renal metastases is safe and feasible and can control local tumors.
