Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06166576 (An Open-label, Prospective, Multi-center Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ablative Radioembolization Using Yttrium-90 Glass Microspheres in Patients With Locally-advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

purposeTo evaluate the efficacy, safety, and clinical course following ablative radioembolization with glass microspheres for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with localized portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) in patients with well-preserved liver function. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis is a prospective, open-label, multi-center, single-arm, phase II trial. Key inclusion criteria are unilobar HCC, PVTT confined to the ipsilateral lobe (Vp1-3), no extrahepatic spread, Child-Pugh class A, and a performance status of ≤ 1. Main exclusion criteria are hepatic venous tumor thrombus, bile duct invasion, and massive arterioportal shunting. Depending on the extent of the tumor and PVTT, patients will undergo radiation segmentectomy, modified radiation lobectomy, or ablative lobar treatment, while adhering to dose limits for the non-tumorous liver and lung. The primary outcome measure is overall survival, with the overall survival rate at two years provided as the summary measurement. STATISTICS: This study will enroll 30 patients to explore the efficacy and safety of ablative radioembolization for HCC with localized PVTT. Efficacy will be evaluated by intention-to-treat and per-protocol populations. Safety will be assessed for all patients who received radioembolization at any dose. EXPECTED GAIN OF KNOWLEDGE: This study aims to address the potential of ablative radioembolization as a definitive or effective downstaging treatment for HCC with localized PVTT, where locoregional treatments may be more beneficial than systemic treatments. The results will help establish treatment outcomes that can serve as a standard for future comparative studies and contribute to the standardization of radioembolization approaches for HCC with localized PVTT.
