Case Report: Preoperative treatment of portal hypertension by splenic artery embolization for safe major hepatectomy: experience in three patients.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. 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
Post-resection portal pressure is one of the most important determinants of post-hepatectomy liver failure. Therefore, preexisting portal hypertension is a significant risk factor for PHLF. Preoperative splenic artery embolization (SAE) was used to alleviate portal hypertension before right-sided hepatectomy in three non-cirrhotic female patients with colorectal liver metastases (45), perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (55), and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (69). Two had received chemotherapy and one had undergone radiotherapy, transarterial radioembolization as well. All had thrombocytopenia (79 × 10
