Hepatic trauma.
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Management of trauma-related liver injury has undergone a paradigm shift over the past four decades. In hemodynamically stable patients, the standard of care in the majority of level-one trauma centers has shifted to nonoperative management with high success rates, especially with low-grade liver injuries (i.e., grade I and II liver injuries). Advances in critical care medicine, cross-sectional imaging, and transarterial embolization techniques have led to the improvement of patient outcomes and decreased mortality rates in patients with arterial injuries. Currently, no consensus guidelines on appropriate patient selection criteria have been published by the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) or the American Association for the surgery of Trauma (AAST). Based off the current literature, nonoperative management with hepatic angiography and transarterial embolization (TAE) should be the treatment of choice in hemodynamically stable patients with clinical suspicion of arterial injury. TAE has been shown to improve success rates of nonoperative management and is well tolerated by most patients with low complication rates. Hepatic necrosis is the most common and concerning reported complication but can be reduced with selective approach and choice of embolic agent. The majority of literature supporting the use of TAE for trauma-related liver injury consists of retrospective case series and additional larger scale studies are needed to determine the efficacy of TAE in this setting. However, it is clear from the current literature that hepatic TAE is an effective and safer option to operative management in treating arterial hemorrhage in the setting of traumatic hepatic injury.
