Shorter Survival after Liver Pedicle Clamping in Patients Undergoing Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Revealed by a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Cancers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Liver pedicle clamping minimizes surgical bleeding during hepatectomy. However, by inducing ischemia-reperfusion injury to the remnant liver, pedicle clamping may be associated with tumor recurrence in the regenerating liver. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) having a high rate of recurrence, evidences demonstrating an eventual association with pedicle clamping is strongly needed. We did a systematic review of the literature until April 2020, looking at studies reporting the impact of liver pedicle clamping on long-term outcomes in patients undergoing liver resection for HCC. Primary and secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival, respectively. Results were obtained by random-effect meta-analysis and expressed as standardized mean difference (SMD). Eleven studies were included, accounting for 8087 patients. Results of seven studies were pooled in a meta-analysis. Findings indicated that, as compared to control patients who did not receive liver pedicle clamping, those who did had a significantly shorter OS (SMD = -0.172, 95%CI: -0.298 to -0.047,
