1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis is a case report on a patient with advanced hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) treated with autologous liver transplantation without any veno-venous bypass using the modified technique of ex vivo liver resection and autologous liver transplantation (the ERAT technique).

methodA 27-year old male with advanced HAE underwent in situ reconstruction of vascular inflow/outflow to left lateral liver section, ex-vivo liver resection and autologous liver transplantation of remaining liver remnant (the modified ERAT technique). The operation consisted of hepatotomy along the right border of the falciform ligament, reconstruction of portal vein supplying the left lateral liver section, reconstruction of left hepatic vein, followed by removal of liver segments S1, S4 to S8, ex vivo resection of all involved tissues within these liver segments in the liver remnant, and autologous liver transplantation of the resected liver remnant. The whole surgical procedure lasted for 12 h, and the blood lost was 800 mL. The patient recovered uneventfully in the post-operation period.

conclusionThe in situ reconstruction of the vascular inflow/outflow of left lateral liver section maintained the PV circulation and provided liver functional support during the operation. The subsequent autologous liver transplantation provided additional liver functional tissues, thus reduced the risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure. This surgical procedure did not require any veno-venous bypass.
