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

BACKGROUND/

aimPortal vein embolization (PVE) with autologous stem cells application (aHSC) is a method for future liver remnant volume (FLRV) increase. The aim of the study was to evaluate the positivite and negativite aspects of the method in clinical practice. PATIENTS AND

methodsPVE with aHSC application was used in 32 patients with colorectal liver metastases and insufficient FLRV. Preoperative number of colorectal liver metastases (CLMs) was 5.2±3.6, CLMs volume 70.1±102.3 mm

conclusionPVE with aHSC application is a safe and useful method for FLRV growth. It significantly increases secondary CLMs resectability. However, it can cause CLMs progression. Liver resection should, therefore, be performed as soon as possible after achieving optimal increase of FLRV.
