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

rationaleHepatectomy in a patient with situs inversus totalis (SIT) is technically challenging, and pure laparoscopic major hepatectomy has not been previously described. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 70-year-old male with SIT was referred to our hospital for investigation and treatment of a liver mass in segment 5/6. DIAGNOSIS: Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed features of chronic liver disease and a 5-cm sized mass with a bulging contour at segment 5/6.

interventionsPure laparoscopic right hepatectomy was performed. OUTCOMES: There was no intraoperative complication and the procedure was completed without a transfusion. The patient recovered well and was discharged on postoperative day 8. LESSONS: Considering the position of the port sites and the assistant, and the operator's hand for the working port, a pure laparoscopic right hepatectomy can be a feasible procedure, even in a patient with SIT.
