1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Recipient hepatectomy for an enlarged stony-hard liver is a demanding procedure, thus it is often accompanied by massive blood loss. Recipient liver splitting under prolonged hepatic inflow occlusion would facilitate the piggyback recipient hepatectomy. We herein present a case of recipient liver splitting, which was used for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). A 48-year-old male patient diagnosed with acute-on-chronic liver failure underwent LDLT. During the recipient operation, the native liver was stony-hard and heavily adherent to the retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC). During liver mobilization, diffuse oozing occurred due to disseminated intravascular coagulation. As a change in the concept, we decided to perform
