Randomized clinical trial comparing liver resection with and without perioperative assessment of liver function.
Article in BJS open, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01785082 (Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Multi-centric, Phase III Study for the Early Identification of Low-risk Patients After Partial Liver Resection by the LiMAx-test), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 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.

Abstract
backgroundLiver function tests may help to predict outcomes after liver surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical impact on postoperative outcome and patient management of perioperative liver function testing using the LiMAx
methodsA multicentre RCT was conducted in six academic liver centres. Patients with intrahepatic tumours scheduled for open liver resection of at least one segment were eligible. Patients were randomized to undergo additional perioperative liver function tests (LiMAx
resultsSome 148 patients were randomized. Thirty-six of 58 patients (62 per cent) in the LiMAx
conclusionPerioperative use of the LiMAx
