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

backgroundSurgery is the standard treatment for primary tumors and metastases. Due to improvements in surgical outcomes as well as the efficacy of systemic treatments, the role of surgery has changed in recent years. SUMMARY: Liver surgery has become safe and efficient, with resectability being increased by multimodality concepts as well as staged liver resections and orthotopic liver transplantation. These concepts may be applied to primary liver tumors but also to selected patients with liver metastases from various diseases. In addition, even debulking surgery may be indicated for selected patients with endocrine metastases. While patient selection for liver resections was limited to clinical parameters in the past, histological and molecular characteristics have become increasingly important. Moreover, the response to regional or systemic chemotherapy has been demonstrated to be strong for a beneficial course of the disease even in advanced diseases. KEY-MESSAGES: Due to the variety of available treatment options, optimal patient selection is crucial. Besides liver surgery, staged concepts as well as liver transplantation are curative tools for many patients.
