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

backgroundMesenchymal tumors such as perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasm (PEComa) and inflammatory pseudotumor-like follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (IPT-like FDC sarcoma) are relatively uncommon in the liver and are particularly rare in the caudate lobe. The clinical manifestations and available imaging tests lack specificity for hepatic mesenchymal tumors. To the best of our knowledge, no caudate PEComa or IPT-like FDC sarcoma has been completely resected by laparoscopy. The standard laparoscopic technique, surgical approaches, and tumor margins for potentially malignant or malignant caudate mesenchymal tumors are still being explored.

aimTo assess both the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic resection for rare caudate mesenchymal neoplasms.

methodsEleven patients who underwent isolated caudate lobe resection from 2003 to 2017 were identified from a prospective database. Three consecutive patients with rare caudate mesenchymal tumors underwent laparoscopic resection. Patient demographic data, intraoperative parameters, and postoperative outcomes were assessed and compared with the open surgery group.

resultsAll procedures for the three resection patients with caudate mesenchymal tumors were completed using a total laparoscopic technique by two different approaches. The average operative time was 226 min, and the estimated blood loss was 133 mL. The average length of postoperative hospital stay was 6.3 ± 0.3 d for the laparoscopy group and 15.5 ± 2.3 d for the open surgery group (

conclusionLaparoscopic isolated caudate lobe resection for rare mesenchymal neoplasms is a feasible and curative surgical option in selected patients.
