Robotic hepatectomy for benign and malignant liver tumors.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
Minimally invasive hepatectomy for benign and malignant liver lesions has gained popularity in the past decade due to improved perioperative outcomes when compared to conventional 'open' technique. We aim to investigate our initial experience of robotic hepatectomy undertaken in our hepatobiliary program. All patients undergoing robotic hepatectomy between 2013 and 2018 were prospectively followed. Data are presented as median (mean ± SD). A total of 80 patients underwent robotic hepatectomy within the study period. 60% of the patients were women, age of 63 (62.4 ± 14.1), body mass index of 28 (29.6 ± 9.4), ASA class of 2.5 (2.5 ± 0.6), and MELD score of 7 (8.2 ± 2.8). Size of resected lesion was 3.9 (4.6 ± 3) cm. Indications for resection were metastatic lesions (30%), hepatocellular carcinoma (28%), cholangiocarcinoma (7%), gallbladder cancer (5%), neuroendocrine tumors (4%), and benign lesions (26%). Formal hepatectomy (right or left) was performed in 30% of the patients. Operative time was 233 (267.2 ± 109.6) minutes, and estimated blood loss was 150 (265.7 ± 319.9) ml. Length of hospital stay was 3 (5.0 ± 4.6) days. One patient was converted to 'open' approach. 10 patients experienced postoperative complications. Readmissions within 30 days of hospital discharge were seen in eight patients. Our data support that robotic hepatectomy is safe and feasible, with favorable short-term outcomes and low conversion rate. Robotic technology extends the application of minimally invasive techniques in the field of hepatobiliary surgery.
