Robotic left hepatectomy for the management of mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver with atypical presentation inside the biliary tract: a case report.

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
Mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L) is a rare epithelial tumor with ovarian-like stroma (OLS), accounting for less than 5% of hepatic cysts. While usually confined to the liver, MCN-L rarely invades the biliary tract, complicating diagnosis and treatment. This case report describes a 53-year-old woman with recurrent cholangitis after robotic hepatic resection for MCN-L. Imaging revealed a lesion in the bile ducts, initially suspected to be intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB). Robotic left hepatectomy using the Da Vinci platform was performed, and intraoperative findings confirmed an intraductal pedunculated mass. Histopathology identified MCN-L with OLS invading the biliary tract. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative day two. Although rare, MCN-L with biliary invasion can mimic IPNB. Robotic surgery provides a minimally invasive solution, emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention for optimal outcomes.
