Clinical Value of Trans-parenchymal Compressing Suture to Decrease the Cutting Surface Related Complications after Non-anatomical Liver Resection.

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
Non-anatomical liver resection with appropriate resection margin is regarded as a potential curative treatment for selected major hepatic carcinoma due to preserving maximal normal liver, especially in cirrhotic patients. But occurrence of cutting surface related complications becomes a main challenge. From June 2010 to June 2016, 448 patients with major hepatic carcinoma received non-anatomical liver resection in our liver surgery center. After excluding 66 cases that were incongruent with the purpose of study, 235 patients undergoing transparenchymal compressing suture (TCS) to "not good" cutting surface were allocated as study group; 147 patients with exposed surface (ES) were matched as control group. The characteristics of postoperative drainage, postoperative hepatic and renal functions, hospital days, and outcomes were collected retrospectively. We further compared cutting surface related complications under different levels of liver cirrhosis between the two groups. Compared with ES group, patients in TCS group had a decreased incidence of cutting surface related complications (14.3% vs. 6.8%, P=0.011) and a decreased probability of interventions for cutting surface related complications (8.2% vs. 3.4%, P=0.042). TCS application was much more effective to prevent cutting surface related complications in patients with moderate and severe cirrhosis (5.4% vs. 15.8%, P=0.003). Postoperative hepatic and renal function, hospital days and mortality did not differ between the two groups. In conclusion, TCS decreases the probability of cutting surface related complications and postoperative interventions for related complications, especially in patients with moderate and severe cirrhosis.
