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

backgroundComplete caudate lobectomy using the anterior hepatic parenchymal transection approach is a proper but technically demanding operation for tumors situated in or involving the paracaval portion of the caudate lobe. This study was intended to share our experience on this operation.

methodForty-nine consecutive patients who received complete caudate lobectomy using the anterior hepatic parenchymal transection approach were studied. The clinicopathologic and perioperative data, complications, and survival were analyzed.

resultsOf the 49 patients, 15 (30.6 %) received isolated complete caudate lobectomy and 34 (69.4 %) received complete caudate lobectomy associated with segmentectomy IV. The median tumor size was 7.3 cm (2.4-18.0 cm), the operating time was 200 min (120-370 min), and the operative blood loss was 700 ml (200-3000 ml). The postoperative complication rate was 36.7 %. There was no perioperative death. Patients in the associated complete caudate lobectomy group had larger tumors (P<0.001), higher platelet counts (P=0.033), shorter operation time (P=0.004), and less patients with residual tumor (P=0.03) than those in the isolated complete caudate lobectomy group. There were no significant differences in cirrhosis, surgical resection margin, blood loss, postoperative complications, and prognosis between the two groups.

conclusionComplete caudate lobectomy using the anterior hepatic parenchymal transection approach was technically feasible and safe for patients with tumors situated in or involving the paracaval portion of the caudate lobe. Associated resection of segment IV can be used to facilitate the surgery and decrease the chance of local residual tumor.
