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

backgroundRadical resection is the treatment of choice for colorectal liver metastases (CLM). Unfortunately, only about 20 % of patients present with initially resectable disease, in most cases due to bilobar disease. In the last two decades, major achievements have been made to extend surgical indications to patients with bilobar CLM, such as two-stage hepatectomy with or without portal vein occlusion and associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS). PURPOSE: The purpose of this review article was to summarize current surgical approaches and their safety and efficacy for patients with initially unresectable bilobar CLM.

conclusionIn selected patients, two-stage hepatectomy and ALPPS are efficient and safe to convert unresectable to resectable CLM. Further studies are required to evaluate long-term outcome of these procedures.
