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
introductionThis video manuscript presents a unique case of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) procedure performed in case of a giant hepatocellular carcinoma (> 15 cm in size) whereby both stages were completed via the pure laparoscopic approach.
methodsThis case was performed in our institution in 2022. All data were obtained from the patient's records in our prospectively maintained database. Institutional Review Board (IRB) was not required for this publication.
resultsA 67-year-old Chinese male with a history of chronic hepatitis B infection presented with a giant liver mass. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrated a tumour, with features compatible with hepatocellular carcinoma, measuring 15.4 cm in maximal diameter in the right lobe of the cirrhotic liver with no distal metastasis. The indocyanine green (ICG) retention test at 15 min was prolonged at 25.5%, and the CT volumetry showed a borderline future liver remnant (FLR) volume of 692 ml or 22.9% (based on measured volume) and a standardized FLR of 49%. Stage 1 ALPPS was successfully completed via the pure laparoscopic approach. He was well post-operatively, and a repeat CT volumetry at 7 days showed an increase in FLR to 826 ml, and the ICG retention test improved to 18.1%. The patient underwent pure laparoscopic second-stage ALPPS, 8 days later. The patient recovered well with no liver decompensation or local complications.
conclusionThe use of MIS for in 2-stage ALPPS procedure for giant HCCs larger than 10 cm is technically feasible and safe when attempted in high-volume centres by experienced surgeons, while benefiting from the advantages of MIS liver resection.
