Treatment of primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors with associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS): A case report and literature review.
Review in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
rationalePrimary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors (PHNETs) are extremely rare and are difficult to diagnose preoperatively.We report a case of PHNET diagnosed preoperatively and successfully resected using associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS). PATIENT CONCERNS: A 72-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for a hepatic mass, which was incidentally identified during a routine health checkup. The patient has no other obvious symptoms of discomfort. DIAGNOSES: Physical examination revealed a palpable mass in the right upper quadrant of her abdomen. Dynamic contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a low-density mass measuring 13 × 7 × 6 cm in both, the right and left hepatic lobes. F-fluorodesoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG PET) and fused PET/CT showed increased uptake by the mass, which was indicative of a hepatic tumor.
interventionsWe use a novel ALPPS surgical procedure to safely and radically remove primary neuroendocrine tumors. OUTCOMES: No postoperative bleeding and bile leakage were reported, and the patient recovered uneventfully.The patient was followed-up for a year without recurrence. LESSONS: PHNETs are rare tumors, and confirming the diagnosis using the best possible preoperative examination is important. An optimal treatment plan is selected based on the patient's condition to ensure a favorable prognosis. Tumors too large to undergo surgical removal can be resected using the ALPPS procedure, as described in this case report.
