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
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is currently one of the most common malignant tumors with the highest mortality rates in the world. Most patients with HCC have lost the opportunity for surgery at the time of initial diagnosis. This study aims to introduce a new conversion strategy: trans-arterial chemo-emobilization (TACE) combined with laparoscopic portal vein ligation (PVL) and terminal branches portal vein embolization (PVE). Methods: From November 2018 to February 2023, patients with HCC and insufficient future liver remnant (FLR) were included for this novel treatment strategy. At first, TACE was performed. Then, these patients underwent laparoscopic PVL and terminal branches PVE. After hypertrophy of FLR, these patients underwent the second stage of liver resection. All patients were followed up regularly postoperatively. Results: A total of 13 patients with HCC were included. All patients underwent the TACE and the first stage of laparoscopic PVL and terminal branches PVE. After a mean of 28.7 days after the first stage of operation, the FLR increased by a mean of 183.4 cm Conclusions: The treatment strategy of preoperative TACE combined with laparoscopic PVL and terminal branches PVE and second stage of liver resection is a preliminarily feasible and relatively safe new strategy which deserves further exploration in the future.
