Advances in Tumor Management: Harnessing the Potential of Histotripsy.
Review in Radiology. Imaging cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Tissue ablation techniques have long been used in clinical settings to treat various oncologic diseases. However, many of these techniques are invasive and can cause substantial adverse effects. Histotripsy is a noninvasive, nonionizing, nonthermal tissue ablation technique that has the potential to replace surgical interventions in various clinical settings. Histotripsy works by delivering high-intensity focused ultrasound waves to target tissue. These waves create cavitation bubbles within tissues that rapidly expand and collapse, thereby mechanically fractionating the tissue into acellular debris that is subsequently absorbed by the body's immune system. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of histotripsy in treating a range of diseases, including liver, pancreatic, renal, and prostate tumors. Safety outcomes of histotripsy have been generally favorable, with minimal adverse effects reported. However, further studies are needed to optimize the technique and understand its long-term effects. This review aims to discuss the importance of histotripsy as a noninvasive tissue ablation technique, the preclinical and clinical literature on histotripsy and its safety, and the potential applications of histotripsy in clinical practice.
