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 effectiveness of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) depends largely on the tumor-to-non-tumor ratio (TNR): the ratio of microsphere concentration between tumor and non-tumorous liver tissue. Angiotensin II (AT-II) may improve TNR by inducing vasoconstriction primarily in arteries supplying healthy liver parenchyma. Tumor-feeding arteries, lacking neurovascular innervation, are largely unresponsive to AT-II, potentially resulting in preferential blood flow redistribution toward tumor tissue. The RADIANT study aims to evaluate whether intra-arterial AT-II infusion prior to yttrium-90 ( MATERIALS AND

methodsThis single-center, single-arm phase II study will include 15 patients with primary or metastatic liver tumors (any histological subtype, diameter ≥ 2 cm) referred for DISCUSSION: The RADIANT study will provide prospective evidence on the effect of intra-arterial AT-II infusion on tumor selectivity during
