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

objectiveThis study aims to investigate the role of three-dimensional visualization technique in the diagnosis and treatment of progressive hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

methodsFrom January 2014 to February 2017, a three-dimensional visualization model was set up in 23 patients with progressive hilar cholangiocarcinoma. The distributions and variations of the hepatic portal ducts were observed. The tumors were classified based on Bismuth classification. The simulation operation was performed and the operation plan was established.

resultsAll 23 patients revealed a clear relationship between the intrahepatic and extrahepatic ducts, as well as the tumors and ducts. An individualized surgery program was established through the accurate calculation of liver volume and residual liver volume. Among these patients, 13 patients completed radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma combined with massive hepatectomy. No bile leakage occurred and no operative death was found.

conclusionFor patients with progressive hilar cholangiocarcinoma, the optimized three-dimensional visualization technique can accurately demonstrate the dilated biliary tract system, provide a new standard to determine the presence of tumor and peripheral vascular invasion, help in establishing a reasonable individualized operation plan, reduce the incidence of bile leakage and liver failure after the operation, and improve the success rate of operation.
