Right anterior section graft for living-donor liver transplantation: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
rationaleIn living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT), the right lobe graft is commonly utilized to prevent small-for-size syndrome, despite the considerable donor morbidity. Conversely, the feasibility of the left lobe graft and the right posterior section graft in smaller-sized recipients is now commonly employed with comparable outcomes to right lobe grafts. The efficacy of the right anterior section graft has rarely been reported. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 56-year-old man, a heavy alcoholic beverage drinker for 20 years, presented in the emergency department with massive ascites and lethargy. He was previously admitted twice due to bleeding esophageal varices. DIAGNOSIS: He was diagnosed with hepatic encephalopathy coma due to alcoholic liver cirrhosis. The Child-Turcotte-Pugh score was 11 (class C), and the Model for End-stage Liver Disease score was 21.62.
interventionA LDTL was offered to the patient as the best treatment option available. The patient's 26-year-old son was found to be the only donor-compatible candidate for the LDTL.Preoperatively, the right lobe of the donor occupied 76.2% of the total liver volume exposing the donor to a small residual liver volume. The right posterior section and left lobe volumes were insufficient, providing a graft-to-recipient weight ratio of 0.42% and 0.38%, respectively. However, the right anterior section could fulfill an acceptable GRWR of 0.83%. Thus, a living donor right anterior sectionectomy was performed. OUTCOMES: Clinical signs and symptoms and liver function improved following anterior section graft transplantation without complications. LESSON: The procurement of anterior section graft is technically feasible in selected patients, especially in high-volume liver centers.
