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

Identifying the right border of the caudate lobe against the right liver is clinically important; however, this remains challenging. As the paracaval portion (PC) of the caudate lobe is adjacent to segment 8 of the right liver, we dissected a liver cast made from epoxy resin and colored dye to define the right border of the PC against segment 8. On the right border of the PC, two major venous plexuses appearing as bouquet-shaped branches joined the inferior vena cava and the middle hepatic vein, forming short hepatic veins, whereas the venous plexuses in segment 8 joined the right hepatic and the vein inferior vena cava. These venous plexuses in PC and segment 8 created a zigzag boundary plane, which coincided with the boundary found between the caudate lobe and the right liver. Moreover, no longitudinal venous branch was found between the PC and segment 8 in the liver cast.
