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
Total hepatectomy remains the most technically difficult step during liver transplantation (LT). The presence of portal hypertension, coagulopathy and the liver morphology make difficult the dissection of the native liver especially when native inferior vena cava preservation is planned. Fashioning of a temporary portocaval shunt (PCS) reduce portal hypertension, perioperative bleeding and improve hemodynamics during LT. Temporary PCS is not always easy to be performed. In obese patients and when the segment I is largely hypertrophic the access to the recipient IVC is quite narrow. Other conditions associated with difficult PCS fashioning are liver late retransplantation when portal vein could be fragile to be dissected and shortened by previous LT. In these conditions, we use a technical variation of PCS in which a venous iliac graft coming from the donor is interposed between the portal vein and the inferior vena cava. The technical details of this technique are described.
