A minimally invasive first stage of ALPPS for hepatoblastoma in a child.
Article in Annals of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Large and giant tumors, especially hepatoblastomas, are more frequently presented in pediatric patients. At about two-third of hepatoblastomas at the time of diagnosis are unresectable and liver transplantation is considered as a treatment of choice because of insufficient future liver remnant volume. In selected cases, 2-staged hepatectomy may be the unique chance for curative resection except hepatectomy followed by liver replacement. Despite the overwhelming spread of minimally invasive liver surgery, the laparoscopic approach remains uncommon in children. A case of successful partial associating liver partition with portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy firstly accomplished pure laparoscopically on the first stage in an infant is presented. Described experience suggests both: the feasibility of laparoscopic procedures and the effectiveness of partial in situ liver splitting to reach appropriate future liver remnant volume and to avoid liver transplantation and its disadvantages.
