Mechanical bowel displacement to enable safe microwave ablation of a peripheral hepatic tumor in Chilaiditi anatomy.
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
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a primary liver cancer that is often treated with locoregional therapies such as radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, or microwave ablation. These locoregional treatments can pose risk of thermal injury to surrounding structures such as the gallbladder, stomach, and bowel when located adjacent to a target lesion. Safe locoregional therapy can be further complicated when a patient has an anatomical variant such as Chilaiditi's anatomy. We describe a case using a blunt-tipped trocar needle to mechanically displace interposed bowel loops adjacent to a peripheral hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient with a Chilaiditi anatomical variation, thereby facilitating safe and therapeutic ablation of the suspected lesion without injuring the interposed bowel.
