Effect of lipiodol marking before CT-guided cryoablation on the outcome of sporadic renal cell carcinoma.
Article in Diagnostic and interventional radiology (Ankara, Turkey), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThis retrospective study evaluates the impact of preoperative lipiodol marking on the outcomes of computed tomography (CT)-guided cryoablation for histologically diagnosed sporadic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
methodsThis study analyzed the data of 173 patients who underwent CT-guided cryoablation for histologically proven sporadic RCC at a single institution between April 2014 and December 2020. The local control rate (LCR), recurrence-free survival rate (RFSR), overall survival rate (OSR), changes in renal function, and complications in patients with (n = 85) and without (n = 88) preoperative lipiodol marking were compared.
resultsThe 5-year LCR and 5-year RFSR were significantly higher in patients with lipiodol marking (97.51% and 93.84%, respectively) than in those without (72.38% and 68.10%, respectively) (
conclusionLipiodol marking before CT-guided cryoablation for sporadic RCC is a feasible approach to improving local control and RFS while mitigating the decline in renal function. Additionally, it may help reduce complications.
