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

Radioembolization with yttrium-90 (Y90) is a recent oncological interventional radiology technique used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic colon cancer to the liver. Although Y90 selective internal radiation therapy (Y90-SIRT) is considered a safe and effective treatment, with increasing use, hepatic and extrahepatic complications have been reported. Here, we present a case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by gastric ulceration associated with radioembolization from Y90-SIRT, as confirmed by histological findings. Unlike dyspeptic ulcers, radioembolization ulcers originate on the serosal surface, predisposing patients to adhesions, bowel obstruction, or perforation, as well as gastrointestinal bleeding.
