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

Background: Radiofrequency (RF) oscillations generate thermal tissue reactions, the patterns of which vary depending on the mode and efficiency of energy delivery. The aim of our study was to analyze patterns of RF-induced thermal tissue reactions according to the modes of RF delivery, including continuous and gated modes, using an alternating current, invasive bipolar RF device. Methods: RF energies at frequencies of 1 and 2 MHz were delivered at respective experimental settings into ex vivo bovine liver tissue at a 0.5-mm microneedle penetration depth. The tissue samples were then evaluated thermometrically. A histologic study was performed to evaluate RF-induced thermal tissue reactions at a 3.0-mm microneedle penetration depth. Results: Thermal imaging study revealed homogenous, well-demarcated, square-shaped zones of RF-induced thermal reactivity on the treated area. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that higher temperature elevations immediately after RF treatment (∆T Conclusion: Thermometric effects during bipolar and gated RF treatments are significantly associated with the frequency, power, and pulse widths and cycles of pulse packs.
