In one paragraph

Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07738367 (A Single-Arm Phase II Study of Bronchial Artery Chemoembolization), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization may enhance the local concentration and cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs and block the blood supply to the tumor, with an expectation to control the tumor, relieve hemoptysis, and prolong survival. This review will introduce the research progression of blood supply to lung cancer, discuss pulmonary artery chemoembolization (PACE) and bronchial artery chemoembolization (BACE) for lung cancer, including their indications and contraindications, operation techniques, efficacy assessments, combined treatments as well as their operating complications and the methods to prevent the adverse event. We will discuss the problems and challenges of percutaneous vascular intervention for lung cancer, such as the uncertainty of blood supply artery for lung cancer, the necessity of high-quality controlled studies, and the best choice for the indications. We hope to explore the direction of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for lung cancer. The aim of this review is to provide a reference for the practice of chemoembolization by vascular interventional radiology for lung cancer.
