Outcomes of hepatectomy for hepatolithiasis.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers.
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
aimSurgical and nonsurgical procedures for management of hepatolithiasis have been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate immediate and long-term results of hepatectomy as treatment for hepatolithiasis. MATERIALS AND
methodsImmediate and long-term outcomes of 123 consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatolithiasis at our institution from 2000 to 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. Acute cholangitis was the major presenting symptom (in 106 out of 123, 86.2% of cases).
resultsThe immediate stone clearance rate was 92.7% (114 out of 123) and final stone clearance rate was 96% (118 out of 123) after subsequent T-tube route or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Residual stones were identified in 5 patients (4%). The surgical morbidity and mortality rates were 33.3% (41 out of 123) and 1.6% (2 out of 123) respectively. Of the 123 patients, 3 (2.4%) had associated cholangiocarcinoma at the time of hepatectomy. With a median follow-up of 40.3 months (range 5-58), a recurrent stone developed in 7 patients (5.7%) and cholangiocarcinoma in 2 (1.6%). Ten patients died during the follow-up period, with 4 of them (out of 123, 3.2%) due to recurrent stone with sepsis.
conclusionHepatectomy is a safe and effective treatment for hepatolithiasis, with a high stone clearance rate and fair rate of surgical complications. Recurrent stone-induced sepsis and cholangiocarcinoma are the major factors compromising long-term survival in these patients.
