Low Intrahepatic Distant Recurrence Rate Following RFA Using Linear Mode in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Article in JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can be utilized in elderly patients and those with cirrhosis with reduced functional liver reserve as it is less invasive. The arfa RFA system is the first system to offer a linear mode. However, the differences in performance between the linear and existing (nonlinear) modes remain unknown. Aim: This retrospective observational study compared the performance of the linear (linear group) and nonlinear RFA modes (nonlinear group) in HCC. Methods: Data of 425 patients with one to three HCC tumors measuring ≤ 3 cm who underwent RFA were analyzed. Recurrence (local and distant), survival, and complication rates between the linear and nonlinear groups were determined. Results: The intrahepatic distant recurrence rate was lower in the linear group than in the nonlinear group ( Conclusion: The linear mode of the RFA protocol results in a lower intrahepatic distant recurrence rate compared with the nonlinear protocol.
