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

purposeThe aim of the present study was to determine the value of the indocyanine green (ICG) clearance test in the preoperative assessment of chemotherapy-related hepatic injury in patients with liver metastasis from colorectal cancer.

methodsA total of 218 patients who underwent hepatic dissection due to colorectal cancer liver metastasis at the Peking University Cancer Hospital between January 2016 and December 2017 were retrospectively evaluated; 179 patients who received chemotherapy prior to hepatic resection were further examined. Patient- and chemotherapy-related factors were analyzed in both groups with normal and abnormal ICG retention rate at 15 min (ICG-R15), and their intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were compared.

resultsThe chemotherapy group had a higher mean ICG-R15 value and a higher number of patients who exhibited abnormal ICG-R15, compared with the no-chemotherapy group. Under the guidance of ICG test, no patients experienced severe complications in the abnormal ICG-R15 group compared with the normal ICG-R15 group, and the overall morbidity was also not significantly different between the two groups. However, the incidence of severe complications was higher in patients who underwent major resection with a normal ICG-R15 value compared with patients with an abnormal ICG-R15 value who underwent minor resection (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed that body mass index (BMI) ≥28 and oxaliplatin use were independent predictors of abnormal ICG-R15. The ICG-R15 value was significantly higher in the two-risk factors group compared with the no-risk factor group (P=0.012), but not statistically different compared with the one risk factor group.

conclusionScreening of patients with chemotherapy-associated liver injury using the IGC test may help in performing safe hepatectomy by avoiding major resection. BMI ≥28 and oxaliplatin use were independent preoperative predictors of abnormal ICG-R15.
