Robotic hepatic arterial infusion pump placement.
Article in HPB : the official journal of the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) placement is associated with improved outcomes in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). In this study, we examined outcomes following robotic HAIP placement, which were compared with open and laparoscopic placement.
methodsA retrospective review of HAIP placements by 2 surgeons at a single institution was carried out. All statistical tests were 2-sided and p < 0.05 was considered significant.
resultsThere were a total of 53 open HAIP cases, 21 laparoscopic cases, and 24 robotic cases. Robotic HAIP placement was associated with a significantly lower conversion rate to open operation than laparoscopic pump placement (17 vs. 67%; p = 0.0009). When cases with concomitant resections were excluded, there was a trend towards shorter median length of hospital stay with robotic pump placement compared with open and laparoscopic placement (4 vs. 5 vs. 5 days, respectively; p = 0.09). Complication rates were equivalent among the 3 groups when concomitant resections were excluded.
conclusionRobotic HAIP placement is a safe minimally-invasive procedure that is associated with a significantly lower conversion rate to open operation compared with laparoscopic placement and a trend towards shorter hospitalization compared with open placement.
