Laparoscopy-assisted resection of an undiagnosed liver tumor and ascending colon cancer via mini median laparotomy: report of a case.
Article in Surgery today, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We describe how we resected a hepatic angiomyolipoma and ascending colon cancer synchronously via laparoscopic left lateral segmentectomy and laparoscopic right colectomy, respectively. The patient was a 72-year-old man, admitted to our hospital after a liver tumor and ascending colon cancer were detected during a general health check. Computed tomography (CT) showed a hypervascular liver tumor mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma, 2 cm in diameter, in segment 3 of the liver. The ascending colon cancer was diagnosed as T2N0M0, Stage I. The left lateral liver and right colon were mobilized laparoscopically and hepatic transaction, followed by resection and anastomosis of the colon, were performed extracorporeally through the same 7-cm upper median incision. This type of laparoscopy-assisted combined resection is useful to obtain a pathological diagnosis of the liver tumor and to remove the entire tumor in a minimally invasive and cosmetic manner.
