Liver regeneration after portal vein embolization: comparison between absolute ethanol and
Article in Diagnostic and interventional radiology (Ankara, Turkey), 2023. 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
purposeTo compare the effects of absolute ethanol (ethanol) and N-butyl-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) on non-embolized liver lobe regeneration in a rat model.
methodsTwenty-seven Sprague-Dawley rats underwent portal vein embolization (PVE) using ethanol:lipiodol, 1:1 (ethanol group, n = 11, 40.74%), NBCA:lipiodol, 1:1 (NBCA group, n = 11, 40.74%), or sham treatment (sham group, n = 5, 18.52%). The non-embolized and embolized lobe-to-whole liver weight ratios 14 days after PVE were compared among the groups (n = 5, 18.52%). The expressions of CD68 and Ki-67 and embolized-lobe necrotic area percentages one day after PVE were compared between the ethanol (n = 3, 11.11%) and NBCA (n = 3, 11.11%) groups.
resultsThe non-embolized lobe-to-whole liver weight ratio after PVE was significantly higher in the NBCA group (n = 5, 33.33%) than in the ethanol group (n = 5, 33.33%) (84.28% ± 1.53% vs. 76.88% ± 4.12%,
conclusionPVE with NBCA induced a larger necrotic area in the embolized lobe and promoted greater non-embolized liver lobe regeneration compared with PVE with ethanol.
