Robotic Resection of Caudate Lobe Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Article in CRSLS : MIS case reports from SLS. 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
Introduction: Robotic liver resection is a valuable alternative to both open and laparoscopic techniques. We report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) located in the caudate lobe, and the tumor was successfully resected with a robotic approach. When performed by experienced surgeons, robotic resection can be a technically sound and an oncological appropriate option for selected patients with complex hepatic tumors. Case Description: A 70-year-old man with a history of chronic hepatitis C infection, compensated cirrhosis, cholelithiasis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension was referred to our transplant and hepatobiliary center following an incidental liver lesion finding during routine surveillance imaging. He was asymptomatic and his family history was notable for HCC. Physical examination and laboratory investigations were unremarkable. Abdominal ultrasound demonstrated a 4.6 cm hypoechoic mass in the caudate lobe, and cholelithiasis. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 4.2 × 4.0 cm lesion in segment one with arterial enhancement and washout. Triphasic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a 5 × 4.2 × 4 cm hypervascular mass, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed mild gastritis. A CT-guided needle biopsy from uninvolved right hepatic lobe revealed chronic hepatitis C and fibrosis. Metastatic workup was unremarkable. Robotic-assisted caudate lobectomy with cholecystectomy was performed with the da Vinci-5 robotic platform. The pathological report of the resected mass confirmed HCC with negative margins. Conclusion: This case highlights the safety of robotic resection for HCC in the caudate lobe. With proper patient selection and more clinical experience, it is becoming a widely accepted option.
