[Role of visceral surgery in oligometastases of non-gastrointestinal tumors].
Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPatients with oligometastatic disease can benefit from local treatment of the metastases. Under these premises the resection of liver metastases and visceral metastases of non-gastrointestinal tumors is performed increasingly more frequently in selected patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of visceral oncological surgery in hepatic oligometastatic disease of non-gastrointestinal tumors according to the currently available literature. MATERIAL AND
methodsA systematic search of MEDLINE and PubMed was carried out focusing on the topics of oligometastases, liver resection and metastectomy for breast cancer, renal cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.
resultsThe evidence is limited to retrospective studies and case series. In selected patients after liver resection and multimodal therapy 5‑year survival rates of 53% (breast cancer), 62% (renal cell carcinoma), 22% (malignant melanoma) and 50% (ovarian cancer) are described. For lung cancer (NSCLC) median survival was 12 month. Prognostic factors n were a disease free survival of >12 months, R0-resection, response to systemic therapy and extra hepatic/extra abdominal metastases. These could be selection criteria for liver resection. Recurrence liver resection, resection of the pancreas and cytoreductive surgery including multivisceral resection (ovarian cancer) could also improve survival.
conclusionRegarding limited evidence patients with oligometastatic disease origin from non-gastrointestinal tumors could benefit from liver resection. Tumor biology and response to targeted individualized systemic therapy become more important in this scenario.
