Cryoablation for Bone and Soft Tissue Lesions in Pediatric Patients: Complications and Preventive Measures.
Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeTo evaluate complications associated with cryoablation in a pediatric population and review preventive measures to mitigate these complications. MATERIAL AND
methodsRetrospective study including all the image guided cryoablations performed on pediatric population. Immediate and delayed complications were analyzed, and we identified the different protective measures used and the clinical outcomes from follow-up. Point estimates for the percentage of complications were calculated by maximum likelihood, and 95% confidence intervals for the true percentages were calculated using the Clopper-Pearson exact method.
resultsEighty-seven ablations were performed on 68 patients (age range of 2-18 years, mean 12.4 years) for non-neoplastic (70%) and neoplastic (30%) lesions. The percentage of ablations resulting in complications was 18% (95% confidence interval (CI) 11% to 28%). Of these, 5% (95% CI 1% to 11%) were grade 3 complications, and 14% (95% CI 7% to 23%) were grade 2 complications. Thermal protection was performed in 27.6% of ablations (n = 24). The mean clinical follow-up duration was 348 days.
conclusionCryoablation in pediatric patients is relatively safe, with a major complication rate per ablation of 5%. Thermal protective measures can be considered to mitigate these complications.
