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

backgroundAlthough portal vein embolization (PVE) has been applied for surgical resection of colorectal liver metastases (CLM), the clinical usefulness of liver surgery following PVE for CLM remains unknown.

methodsA total of 115 patients were evaluated retrospectively. Among them, 49 underwent one-stage hepatectomy following PVE (PVE group). The remaining 66 patients underwent at least hemihepatectomy without PVE (non-PVE group). This analysis compared the short- and long-term outcomes between the PVE and non-PVE groups.

resultsThere were no deaths in either group. Using the Clavien-Dindo classification, the rates of postoperative morbidity ≥ grade 1 were 34.7% in the PVE group and 25.0% in the non-PVE group (p = 0.26). The 3-year overall survival rates were 54.6 and 64.5% in the PVE and non-PVE groups, respectively (p = 0.89). The multivariate analysis the variable performance/nonperformance of PVE was not detected as an independent predictor of poor survival.

conclusionsOur one-stage hepatectomy policy of using PVE provides acceptable morbidity and favorable long-term outcomes.
