A Technique for Laparoscopic Right Hepatectomy Following Portal Vein Embolization in a Patient With Portal Vein Thrombosis: A Case Report.

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
Laparoscopic right hepatectomy following portal vein embolization remains challenging because of its technical complexity. One possible problem during hepatectomy including portal vein (PV) embolization is PV thrombosis. A 79-year-old man with a massive hepatocellular carcinoma underwent laparoscopic right hepatectomy following PV embolization. Three weeks after embolization, estimated future liver remnant volume had increased sufficiently to permit right hepatectomy, but a thrombus of moderate size was detected in the right portal vein. Thrombectomy during laparoscopic resection is difficult, involving risk of uncontrollable bleeding. To decrease risk, the right portal pedicles were cut using a stapler at the roots of segments 5 and 8 and the right posterior portal pedicles while monitoring with ultrasonography, rather than cutting the main right portal pedicle. The postoperative course was uneventful except for a period of hyperbilirubinemia controlled by conservative measures. The patient is alive without recurrence at 6 months after surgery. Our procedure may increase safety of right hepatectomy following PV embolization.
