Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of ovarian cancer metastasis in the spleen: a therapeutic option to consider.
Synthesis in Journal of ultrasound, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Splenic metastasis are rare clinical entities developing in less than 1% of all metastatic cancers and usually in the setting of disseminated disease. To date, splenectomy is traditionally the first line therapy in patient with splenic metastasis, however non-surgical therapies have been reported. Here we described the case of a 57-year-old patient with splenic metastasis from ovarian cancer successfully treated by percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. Furthermore, we performed a literature systematic review of the cases of splenic metastases treated by thermal ablation.
