Prediction of portal vein thrombosis after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposePortal vein thrombosis (PVT) following hepatectomy is potentially life-threatening. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of PVT after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma and identify coagulation and fibrinolytic factors that could predict early-stage postoperative PVT.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 65 hepatocellular carcinoma patients who underwent radical hepatectomy. The risk factors for postoperative PVT were identified based on univariate and multivariate analyses, and the levels of coagulation and fibrinolytic factors were measured during the perioperative period.
resultsThe incidence of PVT after hepatectomy was 20.0%. The patients were divided into two groups: those with PVT (n=13; PVT group) and those without PVT (n=52; no-PVT group). The frequency of the use of the Pringle maneuver during surgery was higher in the PVT group than in the no-PVT group, and the postoperative/preoperative ratios of thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT) and of D-dimer were significantly higher in the PVT group.
conclusionA high incidence of PVT was found in hepatocellular carcinoma patients after hepatectomy. The frequency of the Pringle maneuver is a potential risk factor for postoperative PVT, and the postoperative/preoperative TAT and D-dimer ratios may be used as early predictors of PVT after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
