Comparison of Regeneration of Remnant Liver After Hemihepatectomy with or Without the Middle Hepatic Vein.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThere is no consensus about remnant liver regeneration associated with middle hepatic vein (MHV) resecting.
methodsSeventy-five patients who underwent hemihepatectomy were retrospectively analysed with respect to remnant liver regeneration. The liver remnant volume (LRV) and each sectional volume were postoperatively measured with multidetector computed tomography at day 7 and months 1, 2, 5, and 12 after the operation.
resultsIn right hemihepatectomy cases, the regeneration rate of LRV in the MHV preservation group was significantly higher than that of the MHV resection group at months 5 and 12. In particular, the regeneration rate of remnant segment IV peaked at day 7 and was shrunk after 1 month, and was significant higher in the MHV preservation group. In left hemihepatectomy cases, the regeneration rate of LRV at month 12 was significantly higher in the MHV preservation group. The regeneration rate of the remnant anterior section peaked at 1 month and was shrunk.
conclusionIn this study, the MHV should be preserved or reconstructed whenever possible during hepatic hemihepatectomy. Hepatic regeneration in the MHV perfusion region becomes poor within 7 days to 1 month after surgery (UMIN000023714).
