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

Introduction: In recent years several new techniques have emerged to induce hypertrophy of the future liver remnant prior to major hepatectomies. We aimed to summarize our initial experience with Double-vein Embolization as the first center in Hungary. Methods: Between March 2023 and August 2024 a total of 16 Double-vein Embolization procedures were performed in Semmelweis University. Future liver remnant volume was calculated based on computed tomography scans obtained within 4 weeks prior and 2-3 weeks after the procedure. Tc-99m mebrofenin hepatobiliary scintigraphy results were available for 12/16 patients. Results: Technical success rate was 100 %. No major complication was observed. Successful resection rate was 93.8 %. One patient died due to post-hepatectomy liver failure. Future liver remnant volume and ratio increased significantly after the procedure compared to baseline (433.1 ± 163.8 cm Discussion: Volumetric and functional outcomes in the present study are comparable with results reported in the literature. Our findings provide further evidence that Double-vein Embolization is a safe procedure that offers sufficient volumetric and functional gain in most candidates for liver resection. However, further studies are needed to define the exact place of this new technique in clinical practice.
