Anatomic hepatectomy as a definitive treatment for hepatolithiasis: a cohort study.
Article in HPB : the official journal of the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
backgroundTreatment requirements in hepatolithiasis may vary and may involve a multidisciplinary approach. Surgical resection has been proposed as a definitive treatment.
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical results of anatomic liver resection among Chilean patients with hepatolithiasis.
methodsAn historical cohort study was conducted. Patients who underwent hepatectomy as a definitive treatment for hepatolithiasis from January 1990 to December 2010 were included. Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma were excluded. Preoperative, operative and postoperative variables were evaluated.
resultsA total of 52 patients underwent hepatectomy for hepatolithiasis. The mean ± standard deviation patient age was 49.8 ± 11.8 years (range: 24-78 years); 65.4% of study subjects were female. A total of 75.0% of subjects had a history of previous cholecystectomy. The main presenting symptom was abdominal pain (82.7%). Hepatic involvement was noted in the left lobe in 57.7%, the right lobe in 34.6% and bilaterally in 7.7% of subjects. The rate of postoperative clearance of the biliary tree was 90.4%. Postoperative morbidity was 30.8% and there were no postoperative deaths. Three patients had recurrence of hepatolithiasis, which was associated with Caroli's disease in two of them. Overall 5-year survival was 94.5%.
conclusionsAnatomic liver resection is an effective treatment in selected patients with hepatolithiasis and is associated with low morbidity and no mortality. At longterm follow-up, anatomic hepatectomy in these patients was associated with a lower rate of recurrence.
