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
Hepatic caudate lobe tumor resection is challenging due to anatomical depth. This study presents a laparoscopic technique for caudate hemangioma, using the inferior vena cava (IVC) as a guide to improve safety and feasibility. A 34-year-old male with incidentally detected caudate hemangioma underwent surgery. Preoperative evaluations (normal blood tests, ICG R15 3.0%, Child-Pugh A) confirmed good liver function. Computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis, and surgery was planned with IVC dissection. The surgery lasted 191 minutes, with only 40 ml of blood loss and no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. The patient achieved an uneventful recovery, with the drainage tube removed on postoperative Day 3 and hospital discharge completed on postoperative Day 4. Laparoscopic resection is safe for caudate hemangioma with proper preoperative assessment and experience. IVC guidance minimizes blood loss, shortens operative time, and ensures favourable recovery.
