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

backgroundLaparoscopic liver resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is still in its infancy. The biliary-enteric reconstruction represents one of the most delicate parts of this minimally invasive procedure.

methodsIn this study, a 78-year old woman with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) type 3b underwent a hepaticojejunostomy performed by a parachute technique.

resultsThe operation, performed totally by minimally invasive resections, was completed in 386 min, with a blood loss of less than 400 ml and no transfusion requirements. Two intraluminal stents were placed during the hepaticojenunostomy for splinting of the biliary-enteric anastomosis. The patient required prolonged antibiotic treatment for postoperative cholangitis and finally was discharged on postoperative day 15. The histopathologic grading displayed a G 2-3 adenocarcinoma, pT3 pN0, M0, L1, V1, pN1, UICC IIIc R0, and the patient was referred to adjuvant chemotherapy.

conclusionResections of pCCAs, performed totally by minimally invasive techniques, may be feasible and safe for a selected group of patients. With this approach, a running-suture hepaticojejunostomy using the parachute technique represents a worthwhile strategy for biliary-enteric reconstruction.
