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

aimTo compare the clinical outcomes of right hepatectomy for large hepatocellular carcinoma

methodsWe comprehensively performed an electronic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or controlled clinical trials (CCTs) published between January 2000 and May 2017 concerning the anterior approach (AA) and the conventional approach (CA) to right hepatectomy. Studies that met the inclusion criteria were included, and their outcome analyses were further assessed using a fixed or random effects model.

resultsThis analysis included 2297 patients enrolled in 16 studies (3 RCTs and 13 CTTs). Intraoperative blood loss [weighted mean difference = -255.21; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): -371.3 to -139.12;

conclusionThe AA is safe and effective for right hepatectomy for large hepatocellular carcinoma and could accelerate postoperative recovery and achieve better survival outcomes than the CA.
