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

purposeThe Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) conducted an international survey on the real-life application of transarterial radioembolization (TARE). This sub-analysis of the complete survey evaluates intercontinental disparities in TARE practices. MATERIALS AND

methodsA survey of 32 multiple-choice questions was distributed to CIRSE members between November and December 2022. The questions addressed steps of the TARE workflow, including treatment work-up, planning and dosimetry, intervention, follow-up and innovations. Responses were curated to remove duplicates and incomplete entries and categorised into continental groups. Analysis focused on variations between Europe and North America and impacting factors in the respective regions were identified. Data is presented using descriptive statistics.

resultsResponses were obtained from 30 countries and 133 hospitals, including 87 European and 21 North American centres. Hepatocellular carcinoma was the most common indication, constituting 61% of treatments in North America and 51% in Europe. North America predominantly used

conclusionsThis North America-Europe comparison highlights regional differences in radioembolization practice between the leading continents in procedure volume, based on results of the CIRSE TARE survey. Specific intercontinental differences identified in this survey included hospitalization, product utilization, and procedural techniques.
