Current Modalities for the Assessment of Future Remnant Liver Function.
Review in Visceral medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
While imaging studies such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging allow the volumetric assessment of the liver segments, only indirect information is provided concerning the quality of the liver parenchyma and its actual functional capacity. Assessment of liver function is therefore crucial in the preoperative workup of patients who require extensive liver resection and in whom portal vein embolization is considered. This review deals with the modalities currently available for the measurement of liver function. Passive liver function tests include biochemical parameters and clinical grading systems such as the Child-Pugh and MELD scores. Dynamic quantitative tests of liver function can be based on clearance capacity tests such as the indocyanine green (ICG) clearance test. Although widely used, discrepancies have been reported for the ICG clearance test in relation with clinical outcome. Nuclear imaging studies have the advantage of providing simultaneous morphologic (visual) and physiologic (quantitative functional) information about the liver. In addition, regional (segmental) differentiation allows specific functional assessment of the future remnant liver. Technetium-99m (
