Emprint Microwave Thermoablation System: Bridging Thermal Ablation Efficacy between Human Patients and Porcine Models through Mathematical Correlation.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
To investigate the in vivo ablation characteristics of a microwave ablation antenna in the livers of humans with tumors, a retrospective analysis of the ablation zones was conducted after applying Emprint microwave ablation systems for treatment. Percutaneous microwave ablations performed between January 2022 and September 2022 were included in this study. Subsequently, immediate post-ablation echography images were subjected to retrospective evaluation to state the long ablated diameter, short ablated diameter, and volume. The calculated ablation lengths and volume indices were then compared between in vivo and ex vivo results obtained from laboratory experiments conducted on porcine liver. The ex vivo data showed a good correlation between energy delivered and both increasing ablated dimensions (both
