1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Recent advances in technology have led to an increase in the detection of previously undetected deep-located tumor tissue. As a result, the medical field is using a variety of methods to treat deep-located tumors, and minimally invasive treatment techniques are being explored. In this study, therapeutic effect of microwave ablation (MWA) on tumor generated inside liver tissue was analyzed through numerical analysis. The distribution of electromagnetic fields in biological tissues emitted by microwave coaxial antenna (MCA) was calculated through the wave equation, and the thermal behavior of the tissue was analyzed through the Pennes bioheat equation. Among various treatment conditions constituting MWA, tumor radius and the slot length inside the MCA were changed, and the resulting treatment effect was quantitatively confirmed through three apoptotic variables. As a result, each tumor radius has optimal power condition for MWA, 2.6W, 2.4W, and 3.0W respectively. This study confirmed optimal therapeutic conditions for MWA. Three apoptotic variables were used to quantitatively identify apoptotic temperature maintenance inside tumor tissue and thermal damage to surrounding normal tissue. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a standard for treatment based on actual MWA treatment.
