Robotic Resection of a Type IIIB Klatskin Tumor.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin tumor) is one of the most challenging hepatobiliary cancers to treat due to its critical location and tendency to involve nearby vascular structures in the portal hepatic. A combined biliary and major liver resection is often required to achieve a complete oncological resection. Traditionally, Klatskin tumor resection is performed using an "open" approach until recently when the minimally invasive technique becomes popular due to its proven advantages. The laparoscopic technique had been reported; however, the majority of resections were types I and II without the need for ipsilateral hepatectomy. Inherent limitations of straight laparoscopic instruments result in significant technical difficulties in performing precise tissue dissection and vessel repair and creating a fine bilioenteric anastomosis. In this didactical video, we described our technique of type IIIB Klatskin tumor (B3-L perihilar cholangiocarcinoma) resection utilizing a robotic technology. The use of a robotic platform facilitates precise porta hepatic dissection, bleeding control, and creation of a fine bilioenteric anastomosis at the level of the hilar plate. We believe that the robotic platform provides an alternative method for resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma with excellent short-term outcomes.
