Feasibility of laparoscopic microwave ablation of caudate tumors: a case series.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Microwave ablation of liver tumors allows preservation of liver parenchyma with good oncologic outcomes. However, ablation of tumors in the caudate lobe is particularly challenging. Adjacent critical anatomy, particularly the biliary hilum, has led to caudate location being considered a relative contraindication to ablation. To date, no series have described laparoscopic microwave ablation of caudate tumors of the liver. We describe our early experience with laparoscopic microwave ablation of caudate tumors. In this retrospective review of a prospectively maintained single-institution database, six patients with six primary or secondary caudate tumors underwent laparoscopic microwave ablation with no complications. At a median follow-up of 10.5 months, five out of six patients are free of caudate recurrence. Laparoscopic microwave ablation of caudate tumors is feasible. Long-term follow-up is needed to determine if local recurrence risk is higher than in other anatomical segments.
