Quantitative assessment of hepatic function and its relevance to the liver surgeon.
Review in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundStandard evaluation of patients undergoing hepatic surgery has been through radiological and quantitative determination of liver function. As more complex and extensive surgery is now being performed, often in the presence of cirrhosis/fibrosis or following administration of chemotherapy, it is questioned whether additional assessment may be required prior to embarking on such surgery. The aim of this review was to determine the current knowledge base in relation to the performance of quantitative assessment of hepatic function both pre- and post-operatively in patients undergoing hepatic resectional surgery and liver transplantation.
methodsAn electronic search was performed of the medical literature using the MEDLINE database to identify relevant articles with cross-referencing of all identified papers to ensure full literature capture. RESULTS AND
conclusionsThe review has identified a number of different methods of dynamically assessing hepatic function, the most frequently performed being through the use of indocyanine green clearance. With the recent and further anticipated developments in hepatic resectional surgery, it is likely that quantitative assessment will become more widely practiced in order to reduce post-operative hepatic failure and improve outcome.
