An observational study on tumour response of portal vein tumour thrombus in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Journal of radiosurgery and SBRT, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objectives: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) can sterilize the portal vein tumour thrombus (PVTT) and may make the patient eligible for liver transplant. We assessed the radiological response of PVTT after SBRT and check incidence of radiation induced liver disease (RILD). Methods: PVTT treatment response was measured at 4-6 weeks as per mRECIST criteria, volume of PVTT and its enhancement in arterial phase. Biochemical data and Child-Pugh scoring (CPC) were evaluated to determine RILD incidence. Results: 31 Patients were included. Complete response was seen in 5 patients (16.1%), partial response in 13 patients (41.9%), stable disease in 12 patients (38.7%). Mean volume of PVTT was 15.05 cc before SBRT and 7.83 cc afterwards (p = 0.001). The mean enhancement of the lesion was 86.19HU before SBRT vs 58.58HU after SBRT (p = 0.000). Two patients had grade 3 adverse events. Conclusion: Volume, enhancement, and major axis length of PVTT showed statistically significant improvement after SBRT. No case had RILD after SBRT.
