Laparoscopic hepatectomy based on diseased bile duct tree territory guided by double landmarks for hepatolithiasis: A case report.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundComplex hepatolithiasis has a high perioperative risk and recurrence rate. Currently, standardized treatment protocols and reliable anatomical landmarks remain undefined, posing considerable challenges for laparoscopic hepatectomy in these cases. Achieving complete stone clearance and addressing hilar bile duct stenosis are critical determinants of surgical efficacy in hepatolithiasis management. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a woman with intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct stones and chronic cholangitis who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy. Hepatic segments I, II, III, IV, VI, and VII of the diseased bile duct tree and bile duct cyst were resected according to the preoperative plan, plastic repair of the hilar bile duct was performed, and the repaired bile duct was anastomosed with the jejunum. The patient achieved a favorable prognosis and long-term survival.
conclusionBased on segmental/subsegmental diseased bile duct tree territory hepatectomy and hilar stenosis relief, laparoscopic hepatectomy for complex hepatolithiasis can be safely performed guided by double landmarks (diseased bile duct/hepatic vein).
