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

64-Year-old male patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis C infection, and glottic cancer presented with acute progressive abdominal pain and palpable mass in right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Despite treatment with hyoscine and tramadol, the symptoms persisted. He had received three sessions of Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and two sessions of microwave ablation (MWA) for HCC treatment, with the last session being TACE 11 months prior. Plain film abdomen showed bowel gas pattern in the right hemithorax compatible with bowel obstruction. CT imaging revealed a right diaphragmatic hernia containing closed loop small bowel obstruction. An emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed. The patient improved and was discharged. There was no recurrence of diaphragmatic hernia or abdominal mass or pain at the 6-month follow-up visit. We herein demonstrate a catastrophic complication of TACE by using an IPA and MWA which leads to right diaphragmatic hernia.
