Yttrium-90 radioembolization treatment of metastatic thyroid carcinoma to the liver: a 3-case series.
Article in JCEM 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
Liver metastases from well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas are rare. We report 3 patients, 1 with follicular and 2 with oncocytic thyroid cancers, treated for liver metastases with yttrium-90 radioembolization. The 2 patients with oligometastatic disease received ablative radiation doses, while 1 patient with diffuse metastatic liver disease was treated palliatively with 2 sessions of reduced nonablative radiation dose due to a large hepatopulmonary shunt fraction diagnosed at work-up. The 2 cases of oligometastatic disease had a complete local response by imaging criteria, while the third case had a pronounced local partial response, without adverse events. Future guidelines should include radioembolization as a viable option for locoregional therapy of liver metastases of differentiated thyroid cancer not responsive to radioiodine in patients that do not qualify for or refuse hepatic surgery.
