Agenesis of the Left Hepatic Lobe Accompanied by Esophagogastric Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Agenesis of the left hepatic lobe is an exceedingly rare morphological anomaly. Moreover, agenesis of the left hepatic lobe accompanied by esophagogastric cancer is even rarer, with no reports to date. Agenesis of the hepatic lobe is commonly related to some anatomical variations of the gastrohepatic system. A 76-year-old man was referred to our hospital for surgery for esophagogastric cancer with short Barrett's esophagus. Multiple preoperative imaging modalities revealed agenesis of the left hepatic lobe accompanied by esophagogastric cancer. Robotic proximal gastrectomy and transhiatal lower esophagectomy were performed. Intraoperative findings showed agenesis of the left hepatic lobe. The patient's postoperative course was favorable. Today, 16 months after surgery, the patient is alive without recurrence of esophagogastric cancer. We report a case of agenesis of the left hepatic lobe in a patient undergoing robotic proximal gastrectomy and transhiatal lower esophagectomy for esophagogastric cancer. Preoperative comprehension of various visceral anomalies reduces the risk of surgical complications.
