Intermittent Pringle maneuver may be beneficial for radiofrequency ablations in situations with tumor-vessel proximity.
Article in Innovative surgical sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) represents a treatment option for non-resectable liver malignancies. Larger ablations can be achieved with a temporary hepatic inflow occlusion (Pringle maneuver - PM). However, a PM can induce dehydration and carbonization of the target tissue. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an intermittent PM on the ablation size.
methodsTwenty-five multipolar RFAs were performed in porcine livers
resultsNo change in complete ablation size could be measured between the test series (p>0.05). A small rim of native liver tissue was observed around the glass tube in the test series without PM. A significant increase of ablation area could be measured on the margin of the ablations with an intermittent PM, starting without hepatic inflow occlusion (p<0.05).
conclusionAn intermittent PM did not lead to smaller ablations compared to a continuous or no PM
