Laparoscopic Caudate Resection: How to Safely Manage the Spiegel/IVC Interface.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundMinimally invasive caudate lobectomy, or even paracaval caudate resection, can be associated with significant bleeding due to its abutment of inferior vena cava (IVC), portal pedicle and hepatic veins. TECHNIQUE: Prior to surgery, three-dimensional liver and port site modeling was performed to optimize the understanding of the spatial relationship between the tumor, IVC, and portal-hepatic veins. Following inflow control of portal veinous branches, the fused hepato-caval space was dissected. The adhesions were then sharply dissected to mobilize the paracaval caudate lobe off the IVC. Using scissors rather than an energy device reduced the risk of inadvertent thermal injury to the IVC.
conclusionPreoperative virtual hepatectomy facilitates surgical planning, increasing the understanding of the tumor/vessel relationship and port placement. In case of a fused hepato-caval space, low central venous pressure and judicious management of short hepatic vein branches are the key for a successful dissection. Moreover, anticipation of a fused hepato-caval space and its strategic management are paramount when performing a minimally invasive caudate resection.
