Impact of the VIO system in hepatic resection for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Surgery today, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02197481 (BiClamp Forceps Liver Transection Versus Clamp Crushing Technique in Liver Resections), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 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.

Abstract
purposesThis study aimed to evaluate a novel surgical device combination [VIO system containing a bipolar clamp (BiClamp) and the monopolar soft-coagulation (SOFT COAG)] in hepatic resection for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
methodsThis study performed 124 hepatic resections for HCC and divided them into 2 groups: 60 patients (Conventional group) underwent liver parenchymal transection using Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA) system and saline-coupled bipolar electrocautery for hemostasis; the BiClamp was used with the CUSA system for liver parenchymal transection and SOFT COAG was used with saline-coupled bipolar electrocautery for hemostasis in 64 patients (VIO group).
resultsThe median blood loss in the VIO group was 345 mL, which was less than that in the Conventional group (median 548 mL, P = 0.0423). A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that no use of the VIO system (P = 0.0172) was an independent predictor of intraoperative blood loss, respectively. In patients with liver cirrhosis, the VIO group included a significantly lower proportion of patients with liver cirrhosis that experienced more than 500 mL of intraoperative blood loss in comparison to those in the Conventional group (P = 0.0262).
conclusionsThe VIO system was safe for hepatic resection and its use was associated with a significant decrease in intraoperative blood loss even in cirrhotic patients.
