Combined treatment of focal nodular hyperplasia with superselective transarterial embolization and sequential microwave ablation: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a benign liver lesion that typically does not require treatment unless it becomes symptomatic or shows progressive enlargement. We present a case of a 28-year-old woman with a history of infertility on long-term hormonal therapy who was found to have progressive enlargement of a pre-existing FNH lesion associated with nonspecific right-upper-quadrant pain. Repeat multiphasic imaging confirmed interval growth. A 2-step minimally invasive strategy was employed: superselective transarterial embolization (TAE) using polyvinyl alcohol particles, followed by microwave ablation (MWA) to ensure complete devascularization and ablation of the lesion. This combined approach resulted in full resolution of symptoms and significant lesion shrinkage, with no complications. The patient remained stable on follow-up imaging. This case suggests that combined TAE followed by MWA can be considered in symptomatic FNH as a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with reproductive considerations.
