Regional liver function analysis with gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI and virtual hepatectomy: prediction of postoperative short-term outcomes for HCC.
Article in European radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectivesTo explore the role of quantitative regional liver function assessed by preoperative gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI with computer-aided virtual hepatectomy to predict short-term outcomes after major hepatectomy for HCC.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the records of 133 consecutive patients with HCC who underwent preoperative gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI and indocyanine green (ICG) test. Forty-five patients received open major hepatectomy. Liver function reserve and the future liver remnant were evaluated by computer-aided virtual hepatectomy. Global liver functional parameters included the T1 relaxation time reduction rate (T1
resultsThe T1
conclusionPreoperative gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI with computer-aided virtual hepatectomy may facilitate optimal assessment of regional liver functional reserve to predict short-term outcomes after major hepatectomy for HCC. KEY POINTS: • Preoperative gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI with virtual hepatectomy and volumetric analysis can provide precise liver volume and regional functional assessment. • Quantitative regional liver function assessed by gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI can predict the short-term outcomes after major hepatectomy in patients with HCC. • The regional liver function assessed by gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI is an independent risk factor for postoperative major complications.
