Ex vivo resection and temporary portocaval shunt of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma followed by autotransplantation of liver: a case report.

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
backgroundEx situ liver resection and autotransplantation is among the most advanced techniques which has been introduced in recent years. CASE PRESENTATION: A 24-year-old male referred with chief complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting from 1 month prior to admission. Computed tomography showed a large liver mass in the left lobe of the liver with involvement of retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC), in favor of hepatocellular carcinoma. After hepatectomy, the common bile duct was completely removed. A 4-cm Dacron graft was anastomosed to the inferior and top of the IVC. A temporary portocaval shunt was placed, and ex situ resection of the left lobe of the liver was done. Remnant of the liver was implanted. Reconstruction of the bile duct was done using a Roux-en-Y technique, and autotransplantation of the liver was then completed. During a 4-year follow-up, the patient had no complaints and is in good conditions.
conclusionWith appropriate consideration of patients, despite surgical complexities, ex situ resection of unresectable HCC can provide excellent prognosis.
