[Liver transplantation for treatment of nonresectable primary and secondary liver malignancies : Hepatocellular and cholangiocellular carcinomas and colorectal liver metastases].
Review in Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWith the increasing efficacy of systemic therapy, liver transplantation plays an important role not only for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but also for nonresectable intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (iCC), perihilar cholangiocellular carcinoma (phCC) and colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).
aimTo review the current state of knowledge regarding the indications, patient selection and expected outcomes of liver transplantation for HCC, iCC, phCC and CRLM.
resultsWhen combined with neoadjuvant locoregional therapy (LRT) and/or systemic therapy, patients with nonresectable HCC, iCC, pCC and CRLM confined to the liver can be successfully transplanted with 5‑year survival rates exceeding 65%. The key to success is strict patient selection, which includes oncogenetic (e.g., BRAFV600E mutation status) and clinical criteria indicative of individual tumor biology (tumor markers: alpha-fetoprotein, AFP/carbohydrate antigen 19‑9, CA19-9/carcinoembryonic antigen, CEA, stable response to neoadjuvant therapy) in addition to morphometric criteria.
conclusionLiver transplantation offers the possibility of curative treatment even for nonresectable hepatic malignancies. A major limitation of this treatment is the lack of donor organs. Crucial for success is patient selection based on individual tumor biology.
