Robotic Right Posterior Sectionectomy
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimRobotic right posterior sectionectomy (RRPS) remains a technically challenging procedure. However, few studies have reported surgical approaches for RRPS. Herein, we present surgical techniques for a caudate lobe-first approach in RRPS. PATIENTS AND
methodsFollowing the mobilization of the right lobe of the liver, the paracaval portion of the caudate lobe was dissected along the inferior vena cava, and the right posterior Glissonean pedicle (RPGP) was encircled (the caudate lobe-first approach). The demarcation line was confirmed using Firefly fluorescence imaging, followed by the division of the RPGP. Finally, the right posterior section, with or without the right hepatic vein, was resected.
resultsBetween November 2024 and January 2026, five patients underwent RRPS using the caudate lobe-first approach. The mean operative time and estimated blood loss were 194 (standard deviation 54) min and 170 (83) ml, respectively. Using the caudate lobe-first approach, the RPGP can be safely encircled at an early phase. Confirmation of the demarcation line in the early phase can help guide the liver dissection line.
conclusionThe caudate lobe-first approach appears to be safe and effective for performing RRPS.
