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

BACKGROUND/

aimTransileocolic portal vein embolization (TIPE) may reduce the risk of liver failure after massive hepatectomy. However, convincing evidence of its usefulness in this regard is yet to be reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the use of TIPE after massive hepatectomy. PATIENTS AND

methodsTwelve patients who underwent TIPE were included. Pre- and postoperative liver volumetry was determined using a 3D simulator with computed tomography.

resultsAfter TIPE, the percent change in total liver volume was 104.0%±13.1% (p=0.08). Conversely, the percent increase in remnant liver volume (ml)/total liver volume (ml) and remnant liver volume (ml)/standard liver volume (ml) was 122.9%±18.6% (p<0.001) and 132.2%±19.6% (p<0.001), respectively. TIPE operation time was 125±84.6 min, with minimal blood loss in all cases. Postoperative hospitalization duration during TIPE was 4.5±2.6 days. No TIPE-related complications occurred in any patient.

conclusionTIPE is beneficial and safe when preoperative volumetry indicates that the remaining liver volume is inadequate and inoperable.
