Measurement of Total Liver Volume Using the Energy Expenditure: A New Formula.
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 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
backgroundThe assessment of liver volume (LV) is important before surgical resection or transplantation to reduce the risk of hepatic insufficiency. LV is usually measured using computed tomography or with some formulas. The aim of this study was to develop a new dynamic formula to predict LV.
methodsUsing computed tomography, LV was calculated in 101 patients without liver disease. LV was correlated with patient metabolic status, calculated with the Harris-Benedict equation for basal energy expenditure (BEE). Activity energy expenditure (AEE) was also calculated. Using linear regression analysis, a new formula was derived and was compared with Heinmann's, Urata's, Emre's, Vauthey's, Yoshizumi's, Yu's, and Hashimoto's formulas.
resultsA new basal formula was established: LV = (0.789 × BEE) + 272. It was found to be the most accurate (R
conclusionsThese formulas give a dynamic perspective of LV, which may be influenced by the patient's actual clinical status. Using these formulas, it is possible to estimate an increased value of LV, which may contribute to a reduction in the risk of postoperative hepatic insufficiency.
