Feasibility and safety of ALPPS procedure: our experience.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a surgical strategy for patients with advanced liver tumors and inadequate future liver remnants (FLR). This study compares post-operative outcomes between open (oALPPS) and robotic (rALPPS) ALPPS in our institution.
methodsThis retrospective monocentric study includes eleven patients who underwent ALPPS procedure between January 2023 and February 2024. Demographics, tumor characteristics, and intra- and post-operative outcomes were collected and analyzed.
resultsIn the first-stage ALPPS, the frequency of intermittent hilum clamp and the estimated blood loss were higher in the oALPPS group, while operative time and complications were similar, and total hospital stay was higher in the rALPPS group. In the second-stage ALPPS, the data regarding intraoperative and post-operative data were similar. In rALPPS, there were no post-discharge complications, readmissions, or deaths within 30 days.
conclusionThis single-center study has an exploratory setting given the small cohort, but if confirmed in larger studies, rALPPS could be a viable alternative to oALPPS.
