The growing armamentarium of image-guided tumor ablation in interventional oncology.
Review in Radiology advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Minimally invasive image-guided tumor ablation techniques have been established as safe, effective methods to treat a variety of unresectable soft tissue tumors. Standard thermal ablation methods include radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and cryoablation. However, newer non-thermal and/or non-invasive ablation techniques are now available as alternative options to treat soft tissue tumors, particularly those that are near critical structures or otherwise susceptible to thermal energy sink effects. The 4 types of emerging ablation techniques discussed in this review are as follows: irreversible electroporation, pulsed electric field, high-intensity focused ultrasound, and histotripsy. While the clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of these ablation techniques are in their early stages, initial results are promising in the treatment of various cancers at different stages. These include potential synergistic effects when combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
