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

backgroundWhile standardized treatment recommendations exist for colorectal liver metastases, non-colorectal liver metastases (NCRLM) remain a treatment challenge due to the heterogeneous biology and the lack of evidence-based guidelines. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis review article considers current systematic reviews, retrospective cohort studies and meta-analyses addressing surgical resection and local ablation of NCRLM.

resultsRetrospective data show that selected patients with NCRLM can benefit from local treatment. Favorable prognostic factors include a limited number of oligometastases, achievement of an R0 resection and the absence of extrahepatic tumor manifestations. DISCUSSION: In view of the limited evidence base, recent advances in minimally invasive surgery and modern systemic treatment, prospective studies are essential to validly define the oncological relevance of local treatment strategies for liver metastases.
