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

Background: A growing body of evidence has demonstrated the expanding role of local treatment in managing colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM). To identify current research trends and forecast future directions, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to examine global collaboration patterns and academic influence across countries, institutions, journals, and authors. Materials and methods: Relevant articles and reviews on CRCLM local therapies were systematically retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. The bibliometric package in R software and VOSviewer software were used to analyze countries, institutions, journals, authors, and keywords. The research status and key areas of local treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastases were analyzed by keywords. Results: The analysis encompassed 2,695 articles published between 2008 and 2023. The United States emerged as the leading contributor, with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center producing the highest number of publications (n=178). Among journals, Conclusion: CRCLM local treatment research focuses on integrating local and systemic therapies. Preclinical studies, RFA with anti - PD - 1 agents, show enhanced anti - tumor immunity and survival. While the synergy of local and immunotherapy is confirmed, large - scale clinical evidence is still needed. Thus, cross - disciplinary cooperation is urgently required to boost translational medical research.
