Large apical lung cancer treated with CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Percutaneous lung ablation is increasingly used in the treatment of lung malignancies with good outcomes, but recurrence is commonly reported in ablation of lesions size larger than 3 cm. We report a 50-year-old female with a 9 cm nonsmall cell lung cancer involving the right upper lobe and apical chest wall causing severe neuropathic shoulder pain and significantly disturbing her daily activities. CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation was performed using a 4-phase protocol with complete eradication of the tumor. Follow-up imaging showed no evidence of recurrence 6 months after the procedure. The neuropathic pain was significantly improved after the procedure, and she was pain-free until her death due to metastatic disease elsewhere. To our knowledge, this is the first case of successful cryoablation for an exceptionally large lesion.
