How to successfully resect 70 % of the liver in pigs to model an extended hepatectomy with an insufficient remnant or liver transplantation with a small-for-size graft.
Article in Surgery today, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
An insufficient remnant in extended hepatectomy and small-for-size graft in liver transplantation are critical matters in the field of liver surgery, and reliable and reproducible animal models that can provide clinically relevant and reliable data are needed. We herein describe our detailed surgical procedures for performing 70 % hepatectomy in pigs, and discuss the critical anatomical features, key techniques and pitfalls based on our experience. The porcine liver is divided into four lobes. The right lateral lobe (RLL) accounts for 30 % of the liver volume. Important points, such as selective temporal clamping of the arterial branch, confirmation of a related demarcation line, a two-step process to skeletonize Glisson's capsules during liver resection and selective ligation of the portal venous branch to the right medial lobe without inducing any subtle injuries to Glisson's capsules from the RLL to common bile duct, are discussed.
