Laparoscopic liver resection of hepatocellular carcinoma located in segments 7 or 8.

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
backgroundMany centers consider hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) located in segments 7 or 8 to be unsuitable for laparoscopic liver resection (LLR). We evaluated the safety of LLR of HCC in segments 7 or 8 following the introduction of new laparoscopic techniques.
methodsThis retrospective study included 104 patients who underwent LLR (n = 46) or open liver resection (OLR) (n = 58) for HCC located in segments 7 or 8 between October 2004 and June 2015. The LLR group was subdivided into two subgroups according to whether LLR was performed before (Lap1; n = 29) or after (Lap2; n = 17) the introduction of the Pringle maneuver, intercostal trocars, and semi-lateral patient positioning.
resultsNon-anatomical resection was more frequent (63.0 vs. 29.3%; P < 0.001) and tumor size was smaller (2.8 vs. 4.7 cm; P < 0.001) in the LLR group than in the OLR group. Blood transfusion (P = 0.526), operation time (P = 0.267), postoperative complications (P = 0.051), and resection margin (P = 0.705) were similar in both groups. LLR was associated with less blood loss (550 vs. 700 ml, P = 0.030) and shorter hospital stay (8 vs. 10 days; P = 0.001). The 3-year overall (90.2 vs. 81.2%, P = 0.096) and disease-free survival (15.1 vs. 12.1%; P = 0.857) rates were similar in both groups. The Lap2 group has less blood loss (230 vs. 500 ml; P = 0.005) and shorter hospital stay (7 vs. 9 days; P = 0.038) compared with the Lap1 group.
conclusionLLR can be safely performed for HCC located in segments 7 or 8 with recent improvements in surgical techniques and accumulated experience.
