Role of SIRT in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Current Clinical Indications and Future Perspectives.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimA retrospective, exploratory study was conducted on patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) between 2021 and 2024. The aim was to evaluate its efficacy in tumor downsizing prior to surgical resection, downstaging before liver transplantation, and achieving local tumor control. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis is a single-center study conducted at the University Hospital of Naples Federico II. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with an HCC diagnosis who were subjected to SIRT following discussion within a multidisciplinary tumor board specialized in hepato-biliary diseases. SIRT is a locoregional treatment option for HCC that involves trans-arterial delivery of a therapeutic radioisotope, most frequently the β-emitter yttrium-90 incorporated into glass or resin microspheres. All investigated patients were evaluated by dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging before and after treatment. Radiological tumor response to treatment was evaluated according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors.
resultsTwenty patients with Child-Pugh A liver function were included. Overall, complete response (CR) was achieved in 6 patients (30%), partial response (PR) in 10 (50%), and progressive disease (PD) in 4 (20%). In the downstaging group (n=5), 1 patient achieved CR, 3 achieved PR, and 1 experienced PD. In the downsizing group (n=4), 3 patients achieved PR and 1 had PD. In the local control group (n=11), 5 patients achieved CR, 4 achieved PR, and 2 experienced PD. No significant post-procedural complications were observed.
conclusionThese findings support the role of SIRT as a versatile locoregional therapy in selected patients with HCC, across different therapeutic intents.
