Role of positron emission tomography/computed tomography in living donor liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Review in Hepatobiliary surgery and nutrition, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) becomes an important option for treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). With the advance of imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance image (MRI), preoperative staging and diagnosis for HCC was improved in LDLT. However, morphological characteristics based on the tumor number and size do not represent the tumor pathology and prognosis clearly. Therefore, many criteria using various markers have been reported, but still have limitation to predict the pathology and prognosis. Recently, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/CT (18F-FDG PET/CT) was introduced to have the usefulness for detection of extrahepatic metastases and prediction of post-transplant prognosis in liver transplantation (LT). Furthermore, the hybrid concept with both biologic activity using PET/CT and morphologic tumor characteristics using CT and MRI was reported to be selection criteria for the patient with HCC waiting LDLT. We will discuss the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in LDLT as various aspects including tumor detection, pathology prediction, prognosis prediction, and possibility of selecting criteria.
