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

backgroundAlthough a β-catenin mutated hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) is a benign liver tumor, it can cause bleeding, obstruction, pain, and hepatocellular carcinoma. PATIENT: A 22-year-old woman with abdominal pain was found to have two liver lesions involving segment 4a (5 cm) and segment 8 (S8) (4.5 cm). Liver biopsy confirmed a β-catenin mutated HCA in the S4a lesion. After embolization, an anatomic S4a segmentectomy and a partial S8 resection were planned. TECHNIQUE: Three-dimensional modeling was used to perform a preoperative virtual hepatectomy; to visualize the spatial relationship between the HCA, the portal bifurcation, and the hepatic veins; and to preplan the port sites.

conclusionAlthough a β-catenin mutated HCA in S4a does not necessitate a formal segmentectomy, understanding the anatomic structures outlining its borders can facilitate the resection, especially for a large HCA. Virtual hepatectomy helps to achieve a detailed comprehension of the complex borders of segment 4a. Preoperative embolization can firm up the tumor and minimize the risk of intraoperative rupture from manipulation.
