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

The treatment of liver metastases has become more and more complex in recent years. More individualized therapeutic concepts have become feasible by the increase in different treatment options (surgical, interventional and oncological). In the field of surgery the definition of resectability could be broadened. More extensive liver resections are being performed, which are partly carried out as staged resections after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in combination with portal vein embolization (PVE), radio frequency ablation (RFA) or other procedures in order to increase complete resection rates and patient survival. Consequently the overall 5 year survival rate of patients with resected colorectal liver metastases has doubled from 30% to nearly 60% in the past decade. Due to the complexity of the different treatment approaches an interdisciplinary assessment of the individual patient in experienced centers is necessary.
