Continuous Robotic Ultrasound Hepatectomy (CRUSH): A Novel Approach for Parenchyma-Sparing Liver Surgery.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundParenchyma-sparing hepatectomy aims to achieve negative resection margins while preserving maximal functional liver tissue.
resultsAll procedures were successfully completed using the CRUSH technique without intraoperative or postoperative complications. The Da Vinci Xi-system was employed in all cases. Parenchymal transection was performed with monopolar scissors and bipolar forceps in two cases
conclusionsThe CRUSH technique is a safe and feasible parenchyma-sparing hepatectomy approach in robotic liver surgery. Future studies are warranted to evaluate its impact on margin status.
