Laparoscopic hepatectomy by curettage and aspiration: a report of 855 cases.

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
backgroundIn 1998, the technique of laparoscopic hepatectomy by curettage and aspiration was developed and a special instrument, laparoscopic multifunctional operative dissector (LPMOD), was designed for this procedure. In the past 17 years, this procedure was developed gradually and had become the routine procedure for laparoscopic hepatectomy in local area. This paper is to report results of 17-year practice of this procedure.
methodsPatients who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy from August 1998 to March 2015 were reviewed. Hepatectomies were performed using the technique of laparoscopic hepatectomy by curettage and aspiration. By using the LPMOD, liver parenchyma was crashed and aspirated immediately and the intrahepatic ducts and small vessels were preserved and were safely dissected for ligation. Laparoscopic selective hepatic flow occlusion was performed routinely for hemi-hepatectomies to control intraoperative blood loss.
resultsA total of 855 cases underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy by curettage and aspiration. No perioperative death, 105 patients were converted to open operation, and 84 of them were converted before liver transection without any emergency. Postoperative bleeding occurred in three patients (0.4 %), and bile leakage occurred in seven patients (0.8 %).
conclusionLaparoscopic hepatectomy by curettage and aspiration is a safe procedure for liver resection with acceptable morbidity and mortality.
