Immunoembolization for the Treatment of Uveal Melanoma Hepatic Metastases.
Review in Seminars in interventional radiology, 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
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults. Approximately 50% of patients develop metastatic disease despite successful treatment of the primary eye tumor. The liver is the most common site of metastatic disease occurring in more than 90% of patients. Clinical prognosis is dependent on the ability to control the growth of liver tumors. Locoregional therapies play an important role in stabilizing liver metastases, prolonging survival for patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. As overall survival is prolonged, the development of extrahepatic disease becomes more common. Immunoembolization, a form of liver-directed therapy, not only focuses on treating hepatic metastases by stimulating the local immune system to suppress the growth of liver tumors, but it potentially generates a systemic immune response delaying the growth of extrahepatic metastases as well. The following article discusses immunoembolization for the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma including the rationale, mechanism of action, indications, contraindications, outcomes, and associated toxicities.
