[Technical aspects of laparoscopic liver surgery : Transfer from open to laparoscopic liver surgery].
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. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundLaparoscopic surgery has become the standard for most visceral surgery procedures in many hospitals. Now, liver resections are also being increasingly carried out laparoscopically. The advantages of the laparoscopic technique have been demonstrated in numerous case series and in a recent randomized controlled trial.
aimsThe aim of this review article is to present the available techniques for laparoscopic liver surgery (LLS).
methodsThe technical variations reported in the literature as well as the own experience with LLS are reported.
resultsOptimal patient and trocar positions are crucial for successful LLS and they are chosen according to the planned type of liver surgery: the literature offers several options in particular for surgery of the cranial and dorsal liver segments. As for open liver surgery, a restrictive volume management and the application of the Pringle maneuver are helpful to reduce intraoperative blood loss in LLS. In addition, several dissection techniques have been adopted from open liver surgery. The Cavitron Ultrasound Surgical Aspirator (CUSA™) is particularly suitable for parenchymal dissection close to major vascular structures, since it guarantees a meticulous parenchymal dissection with minimal vascular injuries.
conclusionThe developments of minimally invasive surgery nowadays allow complex liver resections, which can mostly be performed comparable to open liver surgery. Hopefully, minimally invasive liver surgery will further develop in Germany in the near future, since it offers several advantages over open liver surgery.
