Residual tumor cells after insufficient radiofrequency ablation promote lung metastasis by educating CD177
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been one of the most promising local treatments for colorectal liver metastases. However, tumor progression after RFA still severely affects patient prognosis, and its molecular mechanisms remain to be further explored. Here, we show that heat-stressed residual tumor cells following insufficient RFA (iRFA) can lead to lung metastases. Specific Cd177
