Update on Percutaneous Ablation for Sarcoma.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purpose of reviewTo provide an update on the current state of percutaneous thermal ablation in the treatment of sarcoma. RECENT
findingsData continue to accrue in support of ablation for local control and palliation of specific sarcoma subtypes such as extra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis and for broader indications such as the treatment of oligometastatic disease. The synergistic possibilities of various combination therapies such as cryoablation and immunotherapy represent intriguing areas of active investigation. Histotripsy is an emerging non-invasive, non-thermal ablative modality that may further expand the therapeutic arsenal for sarcoma treatment. Percutaneous thermal ablation is a valuable tool in the multidisciplinary management of sarcoma, offering a minimally invasive adjunct to surgery and radiation therapy. Although there remains a paucity of high-level evidence specific to sarcomas, ablation techniques are demonstrably safe and effective for achieving local tumor control and providing pain relief in select patients and are of particular benefit in those with metastatic disease or requiring palliative care.
