1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHepatic veins remain patent during complete inflow occlusion (CIO) and bleeding from them may continue. Occlusion of the inferior vena cava (ICV) during CIO may reduce blood loss from hepatic veins. This study was designed to compare the overall outcomes after application of CIO with or without occlusion of the ICV below the liver in complex mesohepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with cirrhosis. MATERIALS AND

methodsOne hundred and eighteen (118) patients were randomly assigned to CIO or a modified technique of hepatic vascular exclusion (MTHVE). Hemodynamic parameters were evaluated and the amount of blood loss, measurement of liver enzymes, and postoperative progress were recorded.

resultsBlood loss during liver transection in CIO groups was significantly greater than that in MTHVE group (P=0.046). Thus, incidence of blood transfusion was significantly greater in patients of the CIO group (P=0.041). There were no significant differences in liver enzyme changes, bilirubin, or morbidity in the postoperative period between the two groups.

conclusionsCIO with occlusion of the ICV below the liver is a safe, effective, and feasible technique during mesohepatectomy in HCC patients with cirrhosis. Excellent results were obtained with minimized bleeding, limited hepatic function damage, and low rate of postoperative complications.
