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

Laparoscopic right hepatectomy has gained acceptance for major oncologic hepatectomies. Preoperative sequential strategies for induced tumor downsizing and contralateral liver hypertrophy ensure the safety of these major hepatectomies, especially in cases of underlying liver disease. In this video, we present a sequential minimally invasive approach used to treat a large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) developed in steatotic liver using sequentially yttrium-90 liver radioembolization (transarterial radioembolization), liver venous deprivation (LVD), and minimally invasive surgery. A computed tomography scan 30 days after the LVD procedure showed a future liver remnant hypertrophy rate of 89.8% and a kinetic growth rate of 5.4 mL/day. A laparoscopic right hepatectomy was then performed. Postoperative course was uneventful with bilirubin normalization at postoperative day 2. Patient was discharged on postoperative day 8. In case of voluminous HCC on steatosis liver, we provide an innovative combination of preoperative liver radioembolization and LVD to generate maximal liver hypertrophy and to allow a safe laparoscopic right hepatectomy.
