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

backgroundHemorrhage during the liver transection is the major hazard for laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH). We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a 915-MHz microwave device used in LH.

methodsData were retrospectively analyzed regarding 60 patients who underwent LH with or without 915-MHz microwave coagulation at our center from January 2016 to June 2016. 30 patients underwent the 915-MHz microwave-assisted LH (MW group), and 30 patients otherwise were considered as control group.

resultsNo perioperative mortality was observed. Intraoperative blood loss amounts in microwave group and control group were 26.83 ml and 186.33 ml, respectively (P < 0.001). The durations of parenchyma transaction (55.17 vs. 70.83 min, P < 0.001), blood occlusion (2.17 vs. 25.33 min, P < 0.001), and operation (120.67 vs. 148.00 min, P < 0.001) were much shorter in microwave group compared with control group. Lower incidence of postoperative complications (0.0 vs. 14.3%, P = 0.038) and shorter length of postoperative hospital stay (6.00 vs. 7.23 days, P = 0.027) were also noted in the microwave group, compared with the control group.

conclusion915-MHz microwave-assisted LH was found to be safe and efficient.
