Rescue therapy for local tumor progression after radiofrequency ablation of small hepatocellular carcinoma: a comparison between repeated ablation and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo compare the therapeutic outcomes of repeated radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) as rescue therapy for the treatment of local tumor progression (LTP) after initial RFA for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
methodsThis retrospective study evaluated 44 patients who had LTP as initial tumor recurrence after RFA and underwent repeated RFA (
resultsLocal disease control after rescue therapy for LTP was significantly higher with repeated RFA than with TACE (
conclusionRepeated RFA as rescue therapy for LTP after initial RFA for HCC was more efficient and had significantly better local disease control than TACE. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Even if LTP occurs after initial RFA, it should not be considered a failure of RFA, and repeated RFA should be performed over TACE if possible for more effective local disease control.
