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
backgroundLaparoscopic liver resection for metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) remains controversial. The objective of this study was to compare the short-term and mid-term outcomes of patients with CRC undergoing laparoscopic versus open colorectal resection with simultaneous resection for liver metastases.
methodsA total of 126 patients underwent combined laparoscopic resection of CRC and synchronous colorectal liver metastases between 2008 and 2016. A total of 318 patients were treated by an open approach during the above period. By propensity score matching, 109 patients who underwent laparoscopic resection and 109 patients who had an open approach were compared. Analyzed variables included patient characteristics, tumor features, and short-term and mid-term outcomes.
resultsDemographic features and pathologic outcomes were similar in both groups after propensity score matching. Three (2.8%) patients undergoing laparoscopic liver resection experienced conversion to open procedure. There was no difference in hospital stay (p = 0.078), transfusion rate (p = 0.686), or time of bowel function return (p = 0.570) between the two groups. The laparoscopic group and the open approach group also showed similar 3-year overall survival rate (74.4% vs. 79.1%; p = 0.792) and 3-year disease-free survival rate (58.5% vs. 55.2%; p = 0.391). However, postoperative morbidity rate was significantly lower in the laparoscopic group (20.2% vs. 33.0%; p = 0.032).
conclusionsLaparoscopic colorectal resection with simultaneous resection of liver metastases showed satisfactory oncologic outcomes with some short-term advantages compared to the open approach. Thus, laparoscopic approach could be a good alternative of open approach for simultaneous liver and colon resection in patients with CRC.
