Tips for Preparing and Practicing Thermal Ablation Therapy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Review in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Thermal ablation therapy, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA), is considered the optimal locoregional treatment for unresectable early-stage hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). Percutaneous image-guided ablation is a minimally invasive treatment that is being increasingly performed because it achieves good clinical outcomes with a lower risk of complications. However, the physics and principles of RFA and MWA markedly differ. Although percutaneous thermal ablation under image guidance may be challenging in HCC cases with limited access or a risk of thermal injury, a number of ablative techniques, each of which may be advantageous and disadvantageous for individual cases, are available. Furthermore, even when a HCC is eligible for ablation based on tumor selection and technical factors, additional patient factors may have an impact on whether it is the appropriate treatment choice. Therefore, a basic understanding of the advantages and limitations of each ablation device and imaging guidance technique, respectively, is important. We herein provide an overview of the basic principles of tissue heating in thermal ablation, clinical and laboratory parameters for ablation therapy, preprocedural management, imaging assessments of responses, and early adverse events. We also discuss associated challenges and how they may be overcome using optimized imaging techniques.
