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

purposeTo study the safety and reproducibility of high-voltage integrated nanosecond pulse irreversible electroporation (INSPIRE) administered through a single applicator and grounding pad approach in a healthy in vivo liver model. MATERIALS AND

methodsA percutaneous approach to the liver was made under ultrasound (US) guidance in female pigs weighing between 25 and 35 kg. Protocols consisting of 500-, 1,000-, or 2,000-nanosecond waveforms, 45 °C or 65 °C temperature set point, and 0.02-second dose were administered at 6,000 V with and without active applicator cooling.

resultsINSPIRE temperature control algorithms successfully achieved and maintained target temperatures in vivo. All treatments were completed successfully without cardiac synchronization. Treatments with active cooling and temperature control were completed in approximately 4-8 minutes. Treatment zone sizes ranged from 5.7 to 17.3 cm

conclusionsINSPIRE treatments can be safely administered through a single applicator approach with voltages up to 6,000 V without prior knowledge of tissue electrical properties or local tissue perfusion conditions. The single applicator method markedly simplifies electroporation procedures compared with conventional multiapplicator methods by generating an ellipsoidal treatment zone.
